Initial surveys on the type and degree of contamination of soils at former military facilities requires in most cases the evaluation of several hundred soil samples. Of interest is not only the final product (i.e. the pure substance), but also by-products and decomposition products from the manufacturing process. All individual data have to be entered and used in the general assessment; interdependencies between individual parameters have to be identified. To achieve this goal, a computer program was developed which can correlate, calculate, and graphically represent a data matrix consisting of 10,000 individual data units. The initial survey should be followed by more detailed analyses. The goal is to develop a site-specific concept for safety and cleanup action.
