What is ISO 17586– Soil quality about?
This International Standard specifies a method of extracting trace elements from soil at approximately pH 0,5 using a dilute nitric acid solution. Using this method the potential environmental available trace elements as defined in ISO 17402 is extracted.
The method is applicable for all soils and soil like materials.
Who is ISO 17586– Soil quality for?
ISO 17586 on water quality is relevant to:
- Chemical Engineer
- Researchers and scientists
- Microbiologists
Why should you use ISO 17586– Soil quality?
Some trace elements of potential concern as soil contaminants are arsenic (As), boron (B), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), fluorine (F), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), mercury (Hg), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn).
ISO 17586 benefits occupational biologists and researchers in extracting traces in soil.
ISO 17586 specifies methods for measuring nitric acid concentration, sampling and monitoring, and preparing samples for the testing methods.
ISO 17586 provides procedures and methods for extracting the trace elements using dilute nitric acid
As a result of the ISO 17586, you can extract the trace elements from the soil, improving the fertility of the soil, making it more nourishing and promoting the growth of crops, and will be widely accepted by farmers worldwide.
