Soil survey and indoor air survey on the Road to Jenkins Bay

The plan is to construct a temporary school building adjacent to the location of the former landfill. To exclude human toxicology risks, the following works were carried out:

  • Sampling and analysis of the indoor air in the future classrooms in association with the perceived aroma of solvents. Critical parameters: volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (VOCl), volatile aromatics and mineral oil
  • Sampling and analysis of soil in order to establish the soil quality
