This work describes a sampling strategy that will allow the use of portable EDXRF (energy dispersive X-ray fuorescence) instruments for “in situ” soil analysis. The methodology covers a general approach to planning field investigations for any type of environmental studies and it was applied for a soil characterization study in the zone of Campana, Argentina, by evaluating data coming from an EDXRF spectrometer with a radioisotope excitation source. Simulating non-treated sampled as “in situ” samples and a soil characterization for Campana area was intended. “In situ” EDXRF methodology is a powerful analytical modality with the advantage of providing data immediately, allowing a fast general screening of the soil composition.
