1)Substances dissolved in the water (Heavy metals , PCB , Agrochemical )　　 First, mixing dried soil and distilled water at a rate of 1 to 10　　 Second, shaking it for 6 hours　　 Third, filtering it using 0.45μm membrane filter

2) Substances included in the soil (Heavy metals ) First, mixing dried soil and 0.1N hydrochloric acid at a rate of 3 to 100　　 Second, shaking it for 2 hours 　　 Third, filtering it using 0.45μm membrane filter

Our investigation include;・ Collecting information about a toxic 　　　　　 substance (use, storage, leakage)・ Interviewing from owner and worker of the land・ Researching on the current condition of the land
