Arsenic

We perform arsenic testing in North Georgia as a preventative measure against its dangerous side effects. Arsenic is found in many water supplies across the country. It is not very common in North Georgia but it has been found in small amounts in a few wells. Arsenic has a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 parts per billion. Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Arsenic is introduced into the water from erosion of natural deposits, runoff from orchards, and runoff from glass and electronics production wastes.
