GEOCHEMICAL MAPPING. The GEMAS Project Team has produced the Geochemical Atlas of European Agricultural Soils to establish the geochemical background in the agricultural and grazing land soil of Europe and to determine the key parameters that influence element availability in productive soil, according to the EU REACH regulation.

Static tests (leaching tests): NAG and ABA tests, ANC, EPA 1310, EPA 1320 and TCLP (EPA 1311) tests were performed on samples for mine waste toxic element mobility assessment. Pictures show titrating, boiling and preliminary acid buffer test (fizz test). Laser Ablation instrument is shown for solid analysis.

<b>PROJECT:</b> Ecosystem receptors - ECO-MONITORING -tree rings Several tree ring cores have been sampled and analysed for toxic element content the in Recsk Copper Mining Area, Hungary. Tree rings record contamination history and enable eco-monitoring. Soil samples were also analysed for toxic element content.
