LOCATION: GIJON, SPAIN. DATE: 11. 07. 2024 – 17. 07. 2024
Eurofins Control Ambiental is located in the centre of Asturias, between the cities of Oviedo and Gijón. We decided to carry out the sampling in a residential area of the city of Gijón. The sampling point is surrounded by different local roads as it can be seen in the picture of Google Earth. This location is next to some highways and industries. There are two highways (A8 and AS-1) from a distance about 1km and 1.5 km respectively. There is a cement factory at a distance of 6 km, and a large steel factory at 7 km. We have the Musel harbour (one of the biggest in northern Spain) about 6.3 km away from the sampling location.
