The document provides information on a soil research laboratory in Iraq, including details on its facilities, staff, number and types of samples analyzed annually, and training and capacity building needs. The laboratory staff consists of 25 people with various qualifications and is in need of training courses on specific soil testing instruments and pollution testing. The laboratory also requires equipment upgrades and re-habilitation support to analyze more soil samples and conduct additional types of analyses.
