| Short description: |
The largest environmental survey of London’s soils has just been completed by scientists at the British Geological Survey (BGS). The survey was carried out to provide baseline information for over 50 chemical elements. It will enable local authorities and others with an interest in the urban environment to assess the health of London’s soil, in addition to stimulating and supporting environmental science research. This is the first time that the chemical composition of the soils for the whole of London has been measured, and maps are available to view online.
