Arsenic is odorless and tasteless which makes detection of presence not possible without physically testing the water. Arsenic has both short term and long term health risks associated with exposure. Arsenic is a carcinogen which is linked to various cancers including skin, lung and bladder. EPA only governs public water supplies and does require periodic testing for arsenic. Homeowners on private wells are not regulated and thus should test periodically for arsenic levels. If you are performing testing to meet a regulatory requirement or if your results may be used for litigation purposes, please contact us for more information about testing packages designed for those purposes. Fluoride Fluoride can be naturally occurring in groundwater, but is commonly added to municipal water supplies (city water) to aid in the prevention of tooth decay. This water test will help you determine who much fluoride is in your water. If you are performing testing to meet a regulatory requirement or if your results may be used for litigation purposes, please contact us for more information about testing packages designed for those purposes. Tannins Tannins are naturally occurring organic material that can be created as water passes through soil and decaying vegetation. Tannins cause aesthetic issues like discoloration (yellow or tea color) which can cause staining on laundry, fixtures and fabrics. Tannis can also cause a slight taste to the water as well as a possible musty odor. This test will determine if Tannins are in your water. If you are performing testing to meet a regulatory requirement or if your results may be used for litigation purposes, please contact us for more information about testing packages designed for those purposes. Iron Bacteria Iron Bacteria is a problem that can cause both odors and taste to your water as well as cause possible corrosion to your pipes, and clog screens thus reducing water flow. A way to determine if you might have iron bacteria would be look at your toilet tank to see if there is a brownish slime growing on the sides of the tank. If you have a reddish, brownish or yellowish color to your water - this too may be an indication of iron bacteria. If your water smells musty or similar to sewage, this too may indicate Iron Bacteria. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may want to perform an Iron Bacteria Water Test. If you are performing testing to meet a regulatory requirement or if your results may be used for litigation purposes, please contact us for more information about testing packages designed for those purposes. Uranium Uranium is naturally occurring and in very low levels can be found in most rocks, soil and water. Uranium is only weakly radioactive and the MCL for uranium in water is 30 micrograms per liter (ug/l). Inhalation or ingestion are the two primary ways of introduction to the body. Uranium can cause kidney damage and possible cancer; however kidney damage seems to be a common result. This will help you determine how much (if any) Uranium is in your water.
