Metal content analysis for landfill acceptance

Written by

Recently at Envirochem we have noticed that more and more landfills are requesting additional testing along with the normal Landfill Waste Acceptance Criteria test (WAC test or Leachate test). Typically these include: metal content of air dried sample, speciated TPHs (total petroleum hydrocarbons, either as banded or aliphatic/aromatic split) and speciated PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons).

Envirochem laboratories offer these services to their clients; therefore, we would advise contacting the landfill site or waste receiver to check if the additional analysis is required to save you time. We will always retain samples for a period of time and can carry out additional testing at short notice.

Explosive Gas Monitoring on Landfill Sites or For Developments Close to Landfill Sites

Written by

Flammable gases, such as methane, are often found in and near to landfill sites due to the decomposition of waste and migration of gases though soil. Methane, specifically, is an odourless gas which is flammable and is an asphyxiant gas. Gases such as methane pose a risk to enclosed spaces such as under floor voids and workers in poorly ventilated areas, as well as a fire/explosion risk to landfill sites themselves.

Envirochem offers monitoring for many types of gas including methane, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and nitrogen oxides. Envirochem also offers many other kinds of occupational hygiene analysis and monitoring.
