• Quantification of Lead down to 3 parts per billion (ppb). In water, lead is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, and even low levels are considered dangerous to your health. Contamination comes from lead pipes and lead solder in plumbing infrastructure including service lines; changes in water chemistry can cause corrosion, leading to higher levels of lead being released into the water supply. EPA maximum contamination limit is zero; action is recommended for levels exceeding 15 ppb. Key Reasons to Test Drinking Water for Lead:
    • Plumbing Infrastructure especially for homes built before 1986 and if pipes corrode.
    • Health: lead a toxic and a carcinogen. Even low levels can cause developmental issues in developing babies and children, including cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, and reduced IQ. In adults, long-term exposure may result in kidney damage, high blood pressure, and other serious health conditions.
    • Protect Vulnerable Populations. Testing is especially important in households with young children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers, as these groups are at a higher risk of lead poisoning and its long-term effects.
    • Peace of Mind knowing your family is protected from the harmful effects of lead.

  • Quantification of Copper down to 0.1 parts per million (ppm). Copper can be found in drinking water due to corrosion of household plumbing systems, natural deposits, and industrial discharge.  Copper exposure can cause gastrointestinal distress, liver or kidney damage. EPA maximum contamination limit is 1.3 (primary) and 1.0 ppm (secondary).
