    Do you grow a lot of your own veg? Otherwise, why do you need to test the garden for arsenic?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I would think arsenic in the soil, if there is any, will either be geological in nature or related to a previous business use of the land.

    I take up old 9x9 floor tiles and they have a miniscule amount of asbestos in. I double bag it, first in a red bag, then a clear one to show its double bagged. Local council can dispose of it.
