Wastewater Testing
Wastewater Testing
Effective wastewater management is crucial for safeguarding public health and protecting the environment. we offer advanced wastewater testing services that assess both microbiological and chemical contaminants. Our testing helps ensure that wastewater meets regulatory standards and does not harm ecosystems or human health.
Chemical Testing: Protecting Ecosystems and Human Health
Our chemical analyses focus on contaminants that may harm aquatic ecosystems or pose health risks to humans. We test for:
- Heavy Metals: Toxic elements like lead, cadmium, and mercury, often from industrial processes.
- Nutrients: Nitrates and phosphates, which can lead to eutrophication and water quality issues.
- Organic Compounds: Pesticides, solvents, and other organic pollutants that may harm aquatic life.
- Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): Measures the total oxygen required to break down organic and inorganic matter, indicating water pollution levels.
- Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): Assesses the oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the decomposition of organic matter, reflecting the degree of organic pollution.
Microbiological Testing: Detecting Harmful Pathogens
Our microbiological testing focuses on identifying harmful microorganisms that could spread disease if wastewater is improperly managed. We test for:
- Bacteria: Pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter
- These tests ensure that wastewater does not pose an infectious risk when discharged or reused.
