Applications of soil moisture meters

Soil moisture meters are often used in the agricultural and environmental sectors. A good soil moisture meter then helps with improving water management, for example. A soil moisture meter is also indispensable in asbestos surveys, because asbestos fibres often bind to moist soil particles. With a soil moisture meter you locate areas with more moisture, so that you get an indication of possible accumulations of asbestos. In the case of soil remediation a soil moisture meter can also play a role. During excavation in dry conditions, fine dust, quartz dust, asbestos fibres, etc. can be blown away by the wind. Workers can get this into their airways by inhaling it. Measuring soil moisture is therefore an essential part of the risk assessment.
