Why Test For Heavy Metals In Your Water?

Exposure to toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury can immediately affect your health. Low concentrations can also accumulate in the body over time, weakening the immune system and increasing the risk of developing cancer.

Because most heavy metals cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, and boiling water does not remove them, testing is the only reliable way to check for contamination:

  • Arsenic can affect child development and increase the risk of cancer and heart disease, particularly for private well owners.
  • Lead is dangerous even at low levels, especially for children, and has been linked to high blood pressure, kidney problems and developmental issues.
  • Mercury is highly toxic to the nervous system and kidneys, and is especially harmful to pregnant women and children.
