Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds can permeate through the soil at a rate
dependant on the hydro-geological nature of the strata.

Landfill Sites
Today’s throw away culture is creating large quantities of waste products which
in turn results in wide areas of landfill sites. Some of these sites are eventually
remediated for development. Diffusion Tubes/Soil Probes can be used to trace
the migration of V.O.C./S.V.O.C. in landfill site soil substrates. This method of
monitoring can also be used to ensure remedial techniques have been successful.

Contaminated Land Sites
Large areas of our open landscape are surrounded by industrial sites. Spillages
of toxic or harmful solvents can occur. V.O.C. Diffusion Tubes in conjunction
with the Soil Probe can detect and track these spillages with good accuracy.
In agricultural areas, the use of pesticides can contribute to air pollution and
possible health effects.Diffusion Tubes will measure the levels of these complex
chemicals in the air that we breathe.

Brownfield Sites
With the decline of many heavy industries, large sections of brownfield sites
have been created and are subsequently being reclaimed for future development.
The ‘cocktail’ of V.O.C. chemicals in these sites can be indentified and measured
to assist remedial procedures.
