Plastics Leachates Water Test
Recommended for targeted testing for an array of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) in drinking water. Both VOCs and SVOCs can enter the water supply from decaying plastic plumbing, sealants, or plastic storage containers (such as tanks or bottled water). This testing package is recommended if you are concerned about plastic piping (PVC, PEX, etc) or are noticing a funny chemical-like or fruity taste or smell in your water.
This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of some of the most commonly detected VOCs and SVOCs found in drinking water.
