Can You Test my Soil? #924524

Asked February 12, 2026, 5:15 PM EST

Hello, I am wondering if I can send a soil sample from my backyard to get lead tested?

Multnomah County Oregon

Expert Response

Thank you for your question.  None of the Extension offices in the Metro area do soil testing, and testing for lead is way beyond their analytical abilities.  However, OSU has a soil testing service for that contaminant, and you can find information here:  https://cropandsoil.oregonstate.edu/shl/testing-services/soil-testing

Good luck!
