“We don’t know what to look for” What utter dogshit. I work in environmental testing and it’s really not hard to blanket test soil samples for pretty much anything we currently recognize as “bad.”
They don’t want to spend the money on testing only to lose more money when they can’t sell their product.
Yeah seriously. It's not even expensive either. I can get a soil sample tested for a whole suite of heavy metals (+other elements that plants crave) for <$60.
Plus if you're "not sure what you're looking for" you still can take the samples. Heavy metals are famously stable in soil; it's not like you have to run the test immediately.
