Perchlorate Water Test
Recommended for targeted testing for perchlorate in drinking water. Perchlorate is an anion that is extremely soluble and mobile in the environment. It is toxic in very small concentrations and has been found to interfere with human thyroid function. Infants are especially susceptible to the damaging health effects of perchlorate. Common sources of perchlorate contamination include rocket fuel and munitions manufacture and it has been detected near firing ranges and industrial discharge sites. This testing package is ideal for people located near close proximity to military airbases, in particular.
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 perchlorate by EPA method 314.0 (or equivalent).
