Summary
A polluted soil sample has been used for a ring test in view of the determination of total and mobile contents of heavy metals. With very few exceptions the results for total contents are sufficiently well grouped and no systematic deviations were observed between a suggested method using aqua regia and some personnal methods.
The mobility test for heavy metals presented some difficulties due to the special characteristics of the soil under study and since only one sample was distributed, there was no alternative for comparison. In spite of this the results are sufficiently indicative for the situation of this particular soil.
Recommendations for eventual further work concern the laboratory apparatus and the proposal to compare different soils, rather than excluding such comparison by using only one sample.
