Water Testing
Access to clean water is an important part of maintaining your health. Take the necessary measures to ensure the water you drink and use everyday is free from pollutants, some of which can cause life-threatening illnesses. Public water supplies are protected by the U.S. EPA but, individuals with private well water are responsible for the safety of their own water.
12% of New Jersey residents have private wells. Protecting your well water can be accomplished through annual water testing. RAdata is your friendly team of experts in Middletown, New Jersey, that can help you maintain the safety of your water.
Many people are able to determine there is something wrong with their drinking water through the smell, appearance or taste. However, some pollutants are odorless and can only be determined through testing.
Arsenic
If exposed to long-term arsenic in your drinking there is a higher risk of cancer related illness. Arsenic is also linked to cardiovascular disease and impaired cognitive development in children. Arsenic can not be detected through smell, color, or taste. Yearly testing is the only way to ensure arsenic levels do not reach dangerous levels in your drinking water
The US EPA has set the maximum level of arsenic at 10 ppb/µg/l in water, however, the NJ DEP recommends the maximum level to be no more than 5 ppb/ µg/l of arsenic in water.
Lead
One of the main ways lead gets into drinking water is through plumbing materials that contain lead corrode. Lead pipes are one of the main causes of elevated lead found in water. Lead in water is more prevalent in older cities and buildings constructed prior to the mid 80’s and legislation developments.
Lead can cause reproductive problems in adults and children are most vulnerable to lead as they can be affected by lower levels of lead. This can lead to anemia, behaviour problems, lower IQ, and sometimes death. The maximum level of lead in water, as set by the U.S. EPA, is zero.
VOCs
VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, can be found from many sources. They are chemicals that are common additives in commercial and industrial practices, as well as in household products like cleaners, plastics, electronics and paint. Extended exposure to VOCs through drinking water can cause damage to the kidneys, liver and the central nervous system.
Nitrates
Nitrates in drinking water are formed when naturally occurring substances, nitrogen and oxygen, combine. Higher levels of nitrates found in well water can be attributed to human intervention such as improper construction or fertilizers. Nitrates in your drinking water can have fatal effects especially in infants and pregnant women.
