Sampling methods, soil pore water

As more sensitive analytical methods for pesticides are developed, greater care must be taken to avoid sample contamination and misidentification of residues. For example, in pesticide leaching or field dissipation studies, small amounts of surface soil coming in contact with soil core or soil pore water samples taken from further below the ground surface can sometimes lead to wildly inaccurate analytical results. This is probably the cause of isolated, high-level detections of pesticides in the lower part of the vadose zone or in groundwater in samples taken soon after application when other data (weather, soil permeability determinations and other pesticide or tracer analytical results) imply that such results are highly improbable. [Pg.618]

Ross et al. [6] analysed samples of soil leachates from laboratory columns and of soil pore water from field porous cup lysimeters for aluminium by atomic absorption spectrometry under two sets of instrumental conditions. Method 1 employed uncoated graphite tubes and wall atomisation method 2 employed a graphite furnace with a pyrolytically coated platform and tubes. Aluminium standards were prepared and calibration curves used for the colorimetric quantification of aluminium. Method 1 gave results which compared favourably with method 2 in terms of both sensitivity and interference reduction for samples containing 1-15 uM aluminium. [Pg.28]

The validity of these assumptions depends on the way that soil pore water is conceptualized, that is, defined and sampled, and how that concept is translated into an operational method or model whereby soil pore water can be obtained and its... [Pg.216]

As protozoa and nematodes live in pore water in the soil, most of the methods are adapted from toxicity tests designed for aquatic samples. Among the protozoa the tests with cihates Tetrahymena pyriformis, Tetrahymena thermophiia, Colpoda cucullus, Colpoda inflata, Colpoda steinii, Paramecium caudatum, and Paramecium aurelia have been developed [ 102,112-117]. It is the opinion of some authors that the sensitivity of infusorians is higher than that of microorganisms [115,116]. [Pg.26]

In both types of extraction, it is not certain that all the water or even a representative sample of the water is removed from soil. Water in small pores, cracks, or held at greater pressures that those applied to remove water will not be removed and their constituents will not be included in the analysis. However, both these methods find wide use in soil analysis. [Pg.229]
