Abstract
Includes a review of existing specifications and test methods for Sulphur compounds in soils and rocks and describes the development of new test methods which allow a fuller characterisation of sulphur species. The concept of oxidisable sulfides content is introduced. Limiting values are given for oxidisable sulfides and total potential sulfate. Detailed protocols for the new test methods and suggested amendments to the MCHW and DMRB are given.
