Survey Description
During the summer of 2007, soil samples were collected at sites across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as part of a tri-national soil survey also carried out by the United States and Mexico (North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project –NASGL).
| Province | Number of Sites |
| New Brunswick | 115 |
| Nova Scotia | 54 |
| Prince Edward Island | 9 |
Samples were collected from the A, B and C horizons as well as from the 0-5 cm “public health” interval. Soil gas radon, soil permeability and in-situ gamma ray spectrometry measurements were also conducted.
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 6433.
Data from NTS 21P in New Brunswick are also published as part of a compilation in New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development Open File OF 2017-2
Data from NTS 21J in New Brunswick are also published as part of compilations in New Brunswick Department of Energy and Mines Open File OF 2016-1.
Sampling Procedure
Amount collected at each site:
0-5 cm (2 bags), A (2 bags), B (1 bag), C (2 bags)
