Testing Garden Soil for Lead and Other Heavy Metals

Tatiana Morin, Director/Laboratory Manager of the New York City Urban Institutes (USI) will be leading an informal discussion on understanding urban soils; how to build soil health; and ways to deal with, and mitigate or eliminate exposure to contaminants. Participants are encouraged to bring samples of their garden soil and have it tested for lead, and other heavy metals. There is no fee for the test.
