Laboratory analysis of soils, sediments and minerals
Monitor soil quality with accurate, standards-compliant analyses
Soil, sediment, and mineral analysis is essential for assessing their quality, detecting the presence of contaminants, and ensuring compliance with current regulations. Whether for environmental studies, polluted site remediation projects, or monitoring mineral raw materials, YesWeLab supports you with a wide range of specialized analyses.
Why analyze soils and sediments?
Soils and sediments can contain various pollutants of industrial, agricultural, or natural origin. These contaminants, such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, or pesticides, can alter soil quality and pose a risk to the environment and human health. Laboratory analyses allow these substances to be identified and their impact assessed according to strict regulatory criteria.

Sectors concerned
Soil and sediment analysis is aimed at many industrial and institutional players:
- Environment and management of polluted sites : monitoring and rehabilitation of contaminated soils
- Construction and land use planning : control of embankments and cuttings to prevent the dispersion of pollutants
- Extractive and mineral industries : assessment of the quality of raw materials and mining by-products
- Agriculture and viticulture : optimizing soils for agricultural production and monitoring contamination by inputs
Our soil and mineral analyses
YesWeLab offers you analyses adapted to the requirements of industries and environmental regulations:
Contaminant analysis
- Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, etc.) by ICP-MS
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by chromatography
- Pesticides and plant protection residues by GC-MS and LC-MS/MS
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by HS-GC-MS
Physicochemical characterization of soils
- pH, electrical conductivity and cation exchange capacity (CEC)
- Soil granulometry and texture
- Organic matter content and total organic carbon (TOC)
- Redox potential and water retention capacity
