This technology is applicable to the detection of more than 70 metallic elements and 300 isotopes which could exist as contamination in surface and subsurface soils or on concrete surfaces and foundation pads. This technology is developed and has participated in five field demonstrations. Regulatory acceptance of the technology using the LA sample introduction system is being pursued. The baseline technology is offsite analysis in conventional laboratories for heavy metal contamination or grab samples obtained from the surface or core samples from subsurface boreholes. Layne Environmental Services, Inc. has the patents rights to the casing components used with the subsurface probe.
All patents are pending.
