Environmental geochemistry deals with the sources, distribution and interactions of chemical elements in the system rock–soil–water–air–life. The study of geochemical properties of potentially harmful elements in various environments and the quantification of measurement uncertainty are needed to be focussed on. The top layer of environment, closest to human, has the the utmost importance. The mobility of chemical elements works in coordination with geochemical, biological, and geological processes at Earth’s surface. Redistribution of chemical elements in the surface environment causes lower concentrations and so requires thorough measurement methodologies for quantification. The calculation of the exact values of analyte concentration often plays a crucial role,  e.g., in contaminated land examinations, regulatory limits are the keypoints for great results concerning remediation of a contaminated area. It is important that concentration estimates are determined with a specified level of methodologies. A specific methodology for the quantification of the uncertainties on concentration measurements will therefore have financial implications.
