Wastes, Sludges, Sediments, Soils

SAMPLING


The laboratory performs the accredited:

  • sampling of soils, sediments, and sewage sludges
  • sampling of liquid wastes manually or using the automatic samplers
  • sampling of solid materials from the dumps and containers

Besides the accredited sampling the laboratory also performs:

  • the authorized sampling of wastes according to the Act on Waste
  • the authorized sampling of oils

ANALYZES

The laboratory carries out a wide range of analyzes of solid materials for purpose of his handling:

  • the inclusion of tested material as waste
  • analysis of waste in order to allow its further use (fuel, fertilizer, building materials, raw materials for production)
  • analysis of waste to determine its hazardous properties (including identification of asbestos, determination of PCB content in oils etc.)
  • analysis of waste in order to verify the possibility of its storage in landfill
  • analysis of waste to determine the possibility of its disposal (including testing of material modifications using a suitable solidification process)
  • analysis of sludges and sediments in order to verify the possibility of their storage into agricultural land
  • analysis of sludges from a wastewater treatment plant in order to verify a quality of technological process
  • analysis of technological materials in order to verify their properties
  • analysis of soils to verify their quality and potential uses

For these purposes the analyzes are performed according to the valid version of the current legislation:

  • the Act on Waste
  • the Decree on the conditions of depositing waste in landfills and its use on the surface of the ground and amendment
  • the Decree on details of waste management
  • the Decree on the details of the management of biodegradable waste and amending
  • the Decree on the conditions for using treated sludge on agricultural land
  • the Decree on the evaluation of hazardous properties of waste
  • the Decree on the use of sediment on agricultural land

It represents mainly following types of analyzes:

  • waste leachability tests
  • determination of pollutants for waste that must not be stored in landfills of the S group (inert waste)
  • tests of respiratory activity of biowaste
  • tests of pollutants content in waste used on the surface of the ground
  • ecotoxicological tests
  • determination of the hazardous substances and elements in biodegradable waste
  • monitoring of quality characteristics of a reclaiming compost
  • the efficiency checkup of sanitation in accordance with the monitoring of indicator microorganisms
  • verification of the contents of hazardous substances and elements (including microbiological criteria) in sludge for their use on agricultural land
  • determination of pollutants in the excavated sediments from water basins and riverbeds
  • verification of the contents of hazardous elements and substances in sediments for their use on agricultural land
  • verification of requirements for the land quality where a sediment should be used
  • ecotoxicological and microbiological tests of sediments
