ISO 15181-2 Leaching of Metals from Soil to Roots in Field Crops

ISO 15181-2 Leaching of Metals from Soil to Roots in Field Crops Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 15181-2 is a laboratory testing standard that specifies the procedure for leaching metals from soil to roots in field crops. This standard is part of the ISO 15181 series, which deals with the leaching behavior of contaminants in soil and water.

The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other standard development organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

Why this Test is Needed

This test is required to assess the potential impact of metals on plant growth and yield. It helps to determine the leaching behavior of contaminants in soil, which is essential for understanding their environmental fate and transport.

The consequences of not performing this test can be severe, including:

Test Conditions and Methodology

The test involves the following steps:

1. Sample preparation: Soil samples are collected from the field and prepared for testing.

2. Leaching: The soil samples are subjected to leaching with a controlled volume of water or other solvent.

3. Root growth measurement: Plant roots are grown in the leached soil, and their growth is measured.

4. Metal analysis: The leachate and plant tissue are analyzed for metal content.

The testing equipment and instruments used include:

Test Reporting and Documentation

Test results are documented in a report that includes the following information:

1. Summary: A brief summary of the test results.

2. Methodology: A description of the testing methodology used.

3. Results: The leachate and plant tissue metal concentrations.

4. Discussion: An interpretation of the results.

The reporting format and structure are in accordance with ISO 15181-2 and other relevant standards.
