ISO 22036:2008

Soil quality — Determination of trace elements in extracts of soil by inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP - AES)

Scope

ISO 22036:2008 describes the determination of trace elements in digests or extraction solutions from soil by inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) for 34 elements.
This multi-element determination method is applicable to soil extracts obtained with aqua regia in accordance with ISO 11466, with DTPA in accordance with ISO 14870 or other weak extractants, or soil extracts for the determination of total element contents using the acid digestion method of ISO 14869-1 or the fusion method of ISO 14869-2.
The choice of calibration method depends on the extractant and can be adapted to the extractant concentration.
