Abstract

This paper deals with the proper sampling of contaminated soils for the needs of
members of the chemical laboratories of the fire brigade (Fire Rescue Service of the Czech
Republic). Five different sampling tools were tested in different type of soil under this study.
More than 100 samples were investigated statistically for purpose to identify the error in
reproducibility of individual sampling. Root auger and square soil sampler seem to be the best
for reliably soil sampling. The relative error is only 7,5% in the case of proper work with
improved root auger.
