The research group owns a well-equipped lab for determination of transport parameters of chemicals in soils:

• diffusion chambers for measuring diffusion of oxygen and pollutants in the gas phase
• permeability device to determine air permeability of porous media
• GC equipment for the quantification of constituents in the soil gas phase
• (-AAS equipment for the quantification of metals in soils)
• laboratory column tests of various sizes to determine feasibility of soil remediation under realistic flow conditions
• large-scale lysimeter facilities to determine water flow and solute dispersion parameters in undisturbed soils
• tensiometers and TDR equipment to determine soil water movement and non-reactive solute transport in soils
• field setups for determining solute transport and water flow, wireless dataconnection to desktop computer
