The EU has successfully developed a field test device for soil contamination that greatly reduces the cost of testing

Over 200 years of industrialized development in Europe, one of the negative legacy left is the creation of 2.5 million contaminated sites of varying degrees of soil pollution, seriously affecting the ecological environment and human health. Traditional soil pollution testing, on-site sampling, sent to the laboratory analysis, that is time-consuming and costly. The EU's seventh research and development framework program (FP7) has provided 1.2 million euros for this purpose, with a total research and development investment of 1.5 million euros. It is composed of seven innovations from Croatia (co-ordination), the EU, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Tunisia SME joint scientific and technological community formed the European SOIMON R & D team. After three years of hard work, we have successfully developed a new rapid soil contamination site detection device and obtained the accreditation of an independent peer group of the European Commission. Heavy metals and persistent organic compounds are a major part of the soil pollution sources in Europe and the R & D team has designed a series of compact detectors or sensors to effectively detect and assess the volatile organic components of soil-polluting compounds. Heavy metal pollution testing, the main use of radiation detection or sensing technology. R & D team also conducted on-site sampling of sonic vibrating drill pipe was systematically improved design, the various types of detectors and sensors integrated into the drill pipe, while increasing the passive and active damping system to reduce vibration on all types of embedded electronic transmission Disturb device. The efficient detection of this innovative technology prototype has been validated by a panel of experts for the detection of any hard soil structure. Toluene, methylene chloride and chlorinated hydrocarbons, as well as various types of heavy metal pollution, the effective detection rate as high as 95% or more, on the whole can reduce the cost of testing more than 50%. In addition, but also greatly reduce the detection time.
