Nickel Water Test
1 Analyte Tested
See Full ListRecommended by SimpleLab™ for targeted testing for nickel in drinking water. Nickel is a naturally occurring metal commonly found in earth's bedrock, as well as found in the wastewater from mining and smelting activities. Many home fixtures such as faucets and shower heads are commonly plated in nickel, which may lead to nickel leaching into the water supply. While nickel compounds have no characteristic taste or odor, even low doses of nickel can incite an allergic skin reaction or irritation. It is estimated that about 10-20% of the US population has a dermal (skin) sensitivity to nickel. Consuming nickel in high concentrations can lead to cancer, as well as have deleterious effects on lung function.
This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of nickel.
Nickel analysis is included in all Tap Score Essential, Advanced, and Extended City and Well water tests.
