The current legislation pays only lip-service to this issue and site cleanup decisions for hundreds of tons of soil are being made on the basis of a teaspoonful of dirt analysed at the laboratory. Contaminated soils more often than not are simply too varied in composition to permit this simplistic approach and the new, lower limits in Reg 511/09 will only compound the problem.
