Metals

• Statistical Analysis: Metal Concentrations in Soil (2020)
  • NJDEP collected soil samples from 2016 to 2017 to characterize the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and metal concentrations in New Jersey. The main objective of this report is to statistically analyze and interpret the metal concentrations in soil at various sites across New Jersey.
  • Full Report
• Ambient Levels of Metals in New Jersey Soils (1997-2002)
  • Between 1996 and 2001, three studies were conducted to determine the ambient levels of extractable metals in New Jersey soils. These studies were conducted to gather information to support the development of soil cleanup criteria, which cannot be set below ambient levels.
  • Research Project Summary
  • Urban Coastal Plain Region Report
  • Urban Piedmont Region Report
  • Rural Regions Report

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

• Concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in New Jersey Soils (2020)
  • The primary purpose of this study was to characterize the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations found in soils across New Jersey where the population density was 2,000 people per square mile or greater and in areas not known to be directly impacted by a discharge or historic fill.
