Metals Testing (Water)

Metals Testing (Water)

Heavy metals in water including Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium, Chromium and others are tested using advanced ICP-MS and AAS equipment. Even trace amounts of heavy metals can cause severe and long-lasting health problems, including neurological damage, kidney failure, and cancer.

We test drinking water, groundwater, and industrial effluents for the full spectrum of heavy metals, providing accurate results to parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity using our state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Metals Analyzed

• Lead (Pb)
• Arsenic (As)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Chromium (total and hexavalent Cr VI)
• Nickel (Ni)
• Copper (Cu)
• Zinc (Zn)
• Iron (Fe)
• Manganese (Mn)
• Selenium (Se)
• Barium (Ba)

Water Types Tested

• Drinking water and municipal supply
• Groundwater, borewell and well water
• Industrial process water
• Industrial effluents and wastewater
• Packaged and bottled drinking water
• River and surface water

Analytical Techniques

We use Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for ultra-trace multi-element analysis and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) including GFAAS and CVAAS for specific elements. All results are reported against IS 10500, WHO, BIS, and CPCB standards.
