Nitrate is a widespread contaminant derived from fertilizers, animal waste, and septic systems. It is particularly dangerous to infants.
We measure Nitrate-Nitrogen (NO3-N) levels.
The EPA strictly enforces a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 mg/L for nitrate to protect against methemoglobinemia ('blue baby syndrome'). MO.gov strongly recommends annual testing for private wells.
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.
