๐Ÿ“Š Service Overview

Copper in drinking water usually results from the corrosion of household plumbing systems. It causes blue-green stains on fixtures.

๐Ÿ“‹ What We Test For

We measure the total copper concentration in the water sample.

๐Ÿ” EPA & MO.Gov Context

The EPA has set an Action Level of 1.3 mg/L for copper. Short-term exposure above this level can cause gastrointestinal distress, and long-term exposure can cause liver or kidney damage.
