LEADX® TEST - Philip Services
SOIL REMEDIATION

Heavy Metals Contamination in Soil

LEADX® was blended with a contaminated soil sample to determine its effectiveness as a treatment for heavy metals. The soil sample contained a variety of heavy metals in the concentrations shown below. After blending with LEADX® the soil was analyzed using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and analyzed using EPA Method 6010. The LEADX® produced significant reductions in the levels of leachable heavy metals in the sample:

* Below detectable levels. Laboratory tests of LEADX® were conducted by an independent laboratory, Philip Services Corporation of Houston, TX, on a certified soil sample provided by Environmental Resource Associates of Arvada, CO

Conclusion:

LEADX® significantly reduced levels of leachable heavy metals
- Even when multiple heavy metals were present
- Even when only trace amounts were present
