Nevertheless for the treatment of other chemical substances (such as chemical wastes, the ones used in the housekeeping), the situation is a bit different.
Regulations for the importation and use of this compounds are very general and only some of them allow an effective and accurate level of handling and fulfillments.
In the matter of emissions and unloading, the regulations are very little.

For water samples : • Monitor superficial waters, and the ones contaminated bye the industries we use a system of recollection by the help of an instrument of package.
For soil samples:•With soil the capture is made with a different kind of recollection depending on the type of surface in analysis.
