Mineral Water Organic Contaminant Analysis
The analysis of organic contaminants in mineral water is a critical process to ensure that these waters meet stringent safety and quality standards. In this service, we provide comprehensive testing for a wide range of organic compounds, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents, and other potential pollutants.
Our approach involves multiple stages starting with the collection and preservation of water samples in accordance with ISO 14640:2019 standards. This ensures that the samples are representative of the source water and free from contamination during transit to our laboratory. The next step is rigorous sample preparation, which includes filtration and concentration techniques tailored to the specific compounds being targeted.
The analysis itself employs advanced instrumental methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). These instruments are capable of detecting even trace amounts of contaminants, down to parts per billion levels. The data obtained from these analyses are then compared against international standards such as WHO guidelines for drinking water quality.
Our team of experts interprets the results, providing detailed reports that include not only the presence and concentration of identified compounds but also their potential health implications based on current scientific literature. Compliance with local regulations like EU Drinking Water Directive 2017/2193/EU is assured through our thorough testing protocols.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated in today’s world where public trust in water quality has never been higher. By offering reliable and accurate organic contaminant analysis, we help protect consumer health while ensuring that products meet rigorous international standards.
