Leachate Analysis

measuring on the field

If leachates are clean of debris, record pH and electrical conductivity measurements immediately in the field.

filtering debris from the leachate

Be sure to pour leachate through a coarse filter paper to remove any debris.

recording measurements

After filtering, you can immediatley record pH and electrical conductivity of leachates.

cooler with leachate samples

If additional analysis such as nitrate nitrogen are desired, send filtered leachates immediately to a commercial laboratory. Leachates should remain cool during storage and transport.
