Sulfate is a naturally occurring mineral. At high levels, it can cause laxative effects in humans and livestock and provide fuel for odor-causing sulfur bacteria.
We measure the concentration of dissolved sulfate ions.
The EPA sets a Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) of 250 mg/L for sulfate due to its bitter taste and potential laxative effects.
