Manganese often co-occurs with iron and is responsible for dark brown or black staining and a bitter, metallic taste in water.
We measure total manganese concentration in the water sample.
The EPA sets a Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) of 0.05 mg/L for manganese due to aesthetic issues. High levels over long periods can also have neurological health implications.
When you pick up your pre-sterilized collection bottles from our lab drop-off window, we will provide a clear, step-by-step instruction sheet for gathering your water sample. All you need to know right now is that samples must be kept chilled on wet ice or ice packs and delivered back to our lab window within 24 hours of collection to ensure accurate results.
