Drinking Water Mercury Testing

Drinking Water Mercury Testing

Drinking Water Mercury Testing

In today's world, ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water is paramount. Mercury contamination in water supplies can have severe health implications for consumers, particularly vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, infants, and individuals with chronic illnesses. This service focuses on providing accurate and reliable testing to identify mercury levels in drinking water, adhering strictly to international standards.

Mercury exists naturally in the environment but can also enter water supplies through industrial emissions, runoff from landfills, or improper disposal of household products containing mercury. The presence of mercury is often undetectable without specialized laboratory testing, making it crucial for municipalities and private entities to monitor their water sources regularly.

Our team employs advanced analytical techniques tailored specifically for detecting low concentrations of mercury in drinking water. These methods include atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), both of which offer high precision and sensitivity necessary for accurate quantification.

The testing process begins with proper collection and preparation of samples, ensuring that they are representative of the entire water supply. Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 17025 accreditation standards, guaranteeing consistent results across all tests performed here.

Once analyzed, our reports provide detailed information about mercury concentrations within your drinking water source, along with recommendations for remediation if necessary. This service not only helps meet regulatory requirements but also ensures peace of mind regarding the safety of your drinking water supply.
