This video, part of the Standard Operating Procedures from the Global Soil Partnership (FAO), details GLOSOLAN's standardized methodology for determining trace and pseudototal elements, particularly cadmium, in soils. Recorded at AGROSAVIA, it covers best practices from sampling and pretreatment to acid digestion and advanced analytical techniques like ICP-OES and ICP-MS.

The video highlights the importance of harmonized procedures, quality controls, and safety protocols for hazardous reagents. These methods ensure reliable, comparable data, crucial for sustainable soil management, informed decision-making, and global food security. © FAO #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals
