“I'm very glad I found you guys online. Don't know what I would have done otherwise. It’s good peace of mind to have talked with you guys and done some soil testing. Thank you again.”

~ Valerie Mosolgo, Concerned Charlottesville, VA resident

Please note that the kit does not include testing services, this can be purchased separately or with our custom bundling.

CSCR’s EnviroBucket soil sampling toolkit addresses the concerns of residents who want to know what levels of chemicals are in their garden, in the surface of bare soil around children’s playground equipment and in their yards due to environmental toxins. These high- exposure areas are of concern due to potential health impacts. Our kit provides you with the information you’ll need to collect your own soil sample(s) using established EPA principles and protocols. If you get our testing services, we can then can guide you in the interpretation of results.

Our kit is especially useful for individual residents, libraries, educators (University researchers or high school teachers), or community groups that have a desire to learn how to collect meaningful citizen science data and to solve issues pertaining to:

• Climate change resilience/natural disaster relief.

• Environmental Justice

• Environmental contamination from air deposition or soil/water migration interfering with residential properties

• Soil health in urban, community, and/or regenerative gardening

• Secondary environmental water quality analysis

All the supplies fit in an easy-to-carry bucket, including a step-by-step instructional quick guide. Within 24 hours send your samples off for testing at our certified partner laboratories. We can also help you interpret the results!

“Wishing to see if soil contamination might be contributing to our health issues, we obtained an EnviroBucket ™️ and followed the procedures to collect samples, handle specimens without contaminating them and maintain chain of custody. Everything in the kit was handy and well-explained. The laboratory ran a detailed analysis for heavy metals but we didn’t know how to interpret the results. So we turned to Jackie James and Shaun Crawford, PhD, of CSCR who explained the results and gave us very useful feedback. With CSCR’s help and Dr. Crawford’s evaluation and suggestions we now know soil contamination is likely not to be a problem. We were pleased and highly recommend CSCR resources, Toolkit and their follow-up and attention to detail.
