Hi guys!
I have a question regarding EDTA and soils.
EDTA was added to 2.5g of air dried soil, filtered and the supernatant analysed for Arsenic. The 3 values were 28087.78, 27756.97 and 27772.01 ug/l.
Now I'm told I need a soil moisture determination to express the extractable metals on an oven dried basis.
Can anyone shine some light on what this means and if these values need converting??
Thank you!
