Contaminants in Soils and Residuals
Cornell Waste Management Institute in the Dept Crop & Soil Sciences announces…
CWMI is working on simpler and more interpretable soil tests for trace elements and toxic metals in soils and residuals. Quick field tests have been developed for copper, zinc and lead by Dr. Murray McBride (see: http://cwmi.css.cornell.edu/quicktest.pdf). A PowerPoint presentation on the merits and deficiencies of the commonly used soil tests in Northeastern states for zinc and copper in agricultural soils is posted at: http://cwmi.css.cornell.edu/soiltests.pdf.

So when might we expect to have such test kits available for CCE educators to use out in the counties?
