Then a real expert tells you what your numbers mean and exactly what to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Test for This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead and copper rarely come from the source water. They leach into it from your home's own plumbing: lead service lines, brass fixtures and fittings, and copper pipe with lead solder. That means your city's annual report, which samples at the treatment plant, tells you nothing about what is actually at your kitchen tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead is a potent neurotoxin with no safe level, especially for children and during pregnancy. Copper at elevated levels causes gastrointestinal distress and blue-green staining. This test measures both at the tap, down to parts per billion, the only way to know what your family is actually drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Test Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour home was built before 1986 (lead solder and fixtures era)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have a lead or galvanized service line, or are unsure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren, infants, or a pregnant person drink the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou see blue-green staining (a copper signal) on fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Lab Measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test reports 2 parameter(s) for lead \u0026amp; copper using EPA 200.8 (ICP-MS, mass spectrometry), parts-per-billion detection, at a NELAC\/ELAP-accredited laboratory.

If your water is within safe limits, he will tell you that too.
