Our Soil x Uptown Summer: Soil Sampling for Lead Analysis

Abby, Dan, and Hannah joined the Uptown Summer teens on the third Wednesday of Uptown Summer to collect soil samples for analysis. Dan will set the samples to dry and sieve them to remove particles and debris larger than 2 mm before next week. We took samples from the Troy Little League and Collard City Garden, and next week we will screen the samples for lead using the Community Soil Study Toolkit.

While we collecting samples, The Sanctuary for Independent Media’s radio team recorded some of our group discussion that you can listen to here.
