Sets out guidance for collecting sufficient and reliable information for the assessment of a potentially contaminated site. This document should be used in conjunction with the appropriate Australian Standards for assessing the pollution of air and groundwater. The Standard does not prescribe levels of contaminants which are considered to pose a risk to human health or the environment. Such levels are prescribed in documents such as the criteria produced by ANZECC/NHMRC or various regulatory authorities.

This Standard provides guidance for collecting sufficient and reliable information for the assessment of a potentially contaminated site. The Standard does not establish any regulatory limits, remediation requirements or make any recommendations about the proposed land use.It is however suitable for use in determining compliance with criteria such as those produced by ANZECC/NHMRC* or various regulatory agencies. This document provides specific information pertaining to sampling of soils for volatile analytes. It is intended that this guideline be used in conjunction with AS 4482.1 which contains the general principles of soil sampling.NOTE: The sampling of soils at sites with significant concentration of volatile chemicals is a particularly hazardous operation. Concentrations of components may lie between the lower and upper explosive limits and there is a significant risk of oral exposure. It is therefore recommended that particular attention be paid to the relevant sections of Appendix A in AS 4482.1.
