A dangerous concentration of lead in soils is considered a concentration greater than 100 mg/kg.
There are soil test kits that are electronic and measure the soil levels. There are also soil test kits that use the small amounts of your garden soil and mix with the testers ingredients to read the levels.
This is quite simple. Temperature affects the pH levels in soil because of the heat. Depending on the intensity, the pH level in the soil will either increase or decrease to balance.
it can lead to soil erosion witch is really bad because it takes a while to create soil
Many times, lead dissolves into water and goes into the soil that way. This is why they banned lead bullets, people would shoot ducks and they would land in a pond or lake and poison it.
The factors which affect soil pH levels are the amount of rainfall, the amount of plants and the number of soil organisms.
This is residential area, as far I know there is no lead contamination
yes but mostly at beach and parks where kids are found.
why yes, yes it can.
Lead in soil can leak into water supplies and wells. Lead is toxic and can cause severe brain damage or death.
try your local cooperative extension
You can find out your garden's lead content by having your soil tested. You can do this by contacting a local university, or contacting the health department to see what local resources you have.
There are test kits available from local nurseries that can be used to test the pH levels in your soil. These are considered to be do it yourself kits, but the soil can also be tested by a soil lab.
Soil degradation and erosion in a region where people and substinence farmers are can lead to an abject lack of food. Environmentally, it can also pollute local dams and rivers.
Piers Boucher has written: 'Levels of lead and cadmium contamination in soil and plants in the localized environment of major roads'
I think yes, because the top soil and local soil is more difference each other.
There are soil test kits that are electronic and measure the soil levels. There are also soil test kits that use the small amounts of your garden soil and mix with the testers ingredients to read the levels.
It can lead to rapid soil erosion.
