Leachate Analysis Water Testing in Florida FL

Comprehensive and Safe Water Testing In Florida FL

Leachate Analysis (TCLP - SPLP)

Leachate analysis is critical for assessing the environmental impact of waste disposal. The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is a water testing method that evaluates the potential leaching of hazardous substances from waste, ensuring that waste management practices do not harm groundwater or surface water.

Similarly, the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) simulates acid rain to evaluate the potential leaching of contaminants into water sources.

Both TCLP and SPLP water testing are essential for monitoring and managing the release of pollutants, protecting public health, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations by identifying and mitigating potential contamination risks.
