Heaving Metal Testing in Soil and Water
Heavy metals are found in the environment as a result of decades of industrial pollution. It has been well known that high levels of heavy metals can be detrimental to human and animal health. Heavy metal contamination in soil and water can cause health problems and lead to the further contamination of other materials and products. Excess amounts of heavy metals such as copper, magnesium, and zinc can increase the risk of human health issues such as dementia, cancer, and infertility. Heavy metal testing is used to determine the levels of heavy metals in water, soil, food, and more. The truth is that heavy metal exposure is higher than ever, and it’s important to monitor.
Using heavy metal toxicity tests in soil and water helps to mitigate the exposure of heavy metals. By detecting heavy metal levels, you may be able to prevent the health consequences of over-exposure. Heavy metals testing can detect metals that are harmful in both small and large amounts, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium which if undetected can lead to heavy metals in food products. If consumed, these chemicals can lead to a range of health problems, increasing the risk of a number of diseases and damaging vital organs, such as the kidneys, liver, and brain. Heavy metal detection methods in water and soil are the only reliable ways to determine whether there are dangerous levels of heavy metals present.
Laboratory uses ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) to detect heavy metals in food, soil and water. The heavy metals detection method can be used to detect low levels of metals in groundwater and drinking water. It can also be used to detect metals in a water or soil matrix. The lab has full NABL, accreditation for conducting the best test for heavy metal toxicity in your region and matrix. Using the ICP-MS/AAS method, we can detect a range of metals. These include heavy metal toxicity tests for lead, mercury, arsenic, and various others that can contaminate the environment.
Our heavy metal testing methods and procedure make it simple to test your environment for the presence of heavy metals. We can provide the equipment that you need to collect samples and guide you through the process to ensure you get a good sample. You can then return your samples by dropping them off or using a shipping service to send them to our lab. We carry out our heavy metal lab test on the samples provided and report on our findings, providing useful data. We send reports by email as PDF documents, including test results and our methodologies. Our reports can be tailored to any special requirements to ensure they provide the information that you need.
N.S. Envirotech Laboratory is one of the few labs providing bioanalytical tests for ~70 elements, including heavy metals. We specialize in unusual analyte tests in a variety of biological matrices including: serum, plasma, whole blood, hair, urine, tissues and others.
To identify and quantify metals and other chemical elements, N.S. Envirotech Laboratory scientists have developed over 450 panels and individual assays using state-of-the-art technology including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)/AAS and atomic absorption and atomic emission spectroscopy. All specimens are handled in a purpose-designed clean-room environment.
