Recommended for targeted testing of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) in drinking water. SVOCs are a broad group of moderate volatility substances that can be found in pesticides, plasticizers, flame retardants, furnishings, personal care products (PPCP), electronics, and cleaning agents. They include many types of chemicals which exhibit a wide range of different chemical properties. Common SVOCs include: polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides (organophosphorus, organochlorine, nitrogen-based), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates, chloroalkanes, phenols, dioxins, and more.
About the SVOC Water Test:
This is the right test for you if:
- Want to check for chemicals from plastic pipes.
- Water smells or tastes like plastic, chemicals, or fruity.
- Concerned about nearby agriculture or industrial activity.
- Concerned about common phthalates.
