SoilSHOP events in Cleveland

SoilSHOP Q & A

Q1: does the family have to live in the community where the event is being offered? Answer: Anyone is eligible to participate. The only rule is first come first serve.

Q2: How many samples can I bring?  CLASH asks that you bring no more that 5 samples for each household.  If you need more tests, CLASH will work with you to make those arrangements.

Soil Screening, Health, Outreach, and Partnership (soilSHOP) events provides an opportunity for neighbors to get soil samples screened for lead hazards. Simply bring up to 5 samples from your yard, garden, recreation or nearby lot to a SoilSHOP event. Staff from US EPA region 5 will scan the sample on site using an XRF machine (see below) and give you a report on possible lead hazards within 5 minutes. All Free. Test results belong to you.
