Laboratory analysis of soils, sediments and minerals
Monitor soil quality with accurate and standards-compliant analyses
Soil, sediment, and mineral analysis is essential for assessing quality, detecting contaminants, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Whether for environmental studies, contaminated site remediation projects, or mineral raw material testing, 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 impair soil quality and pose a risk to the environment and human health. Laboratory analyses allow for the identification of these substances and the assessment of their impact according to strict regulatory criteria.

Sectors concerned
Soil and sediment analysis is relevant to many industrial and institutional stakeholders:
- Environment and management of polluted sites : monitoring and rehabilitation of contaminated soils
- Construction and land development : monitoring of earthworks to prevent the spread of pollutants
- Extractive and mineral industries : assessment of the quality of raw materials and mining by-products
- Agriculture and viticulture : soil optimization for agricultural production and monitoring of contamination by inputs
Our soil and mineral analyses
YesWeLab offers analyses tailored 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 product residues by GC-MS and LC-MS/MS
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by HS-GC-MS
Physico-chemical characterization of soils
- pH, electrical conductivity and cation exchange capacity (CEC)
- Soil particle size and texture
- Organic matter content and total organic carbon (TOC)
- Redox potential and water retention capacity
