What Does SSM Stand For?
SSM stands for Synthetic Soil Matrix US EPA
SSM, or Synthetic Soil Matrix, is a standardized material developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for use in soil remediation and environmental assessment. It simulates natural soil characteristics, providing a consistent and controlled medium for testing the behavior of contaminants and evaluating the effectiveness of remediation technologies. The SSM serves as a critical tool for researchers and practitioners in environmental science, facilitating reliable data collection and comparison in soil management practices.
