For complaints or concerns possibly involving laboratory testing, please check our Environmental and Consumer Protection page to find the appropriate state investigation/enforcement division(s) for technical assistance and sample collection:
NOTE: For integrity of results, samples must be collected by trained/licensed personnel in proper samples containers, under proper transport conditions, and within sample specific time constraints. In general, VAEL does not accept sample submissions from the general public.
Are you looking for soil testing? At this time, VAEL does not conduct soil testing, but you can contact the UVM Extension Laboratory for that testing here: UVM Extension Agricultural and Environmental Laboratory
