Recommended by SimpleLab™ for targeted testing for uranium in drinking water. Uranium, a naturally occurring heavy metal, is ubiquitous in the environment and can be found in rocks, soil, water, air, plants, and animals. However, additional sources of uranium contamination include close proximity to: abandoned uranium mines, nuclear industry activity, or combustion or coal or other fuels. Uranium exposure can result in both radiological and chemical toxicity, however heavy metal toxicity is of greatest concern when from uranium-contaminated drinking water.

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 total uranium concentration by EPA method 200.8 (or equivalent).

Included in every Tap Score Essential, Advanced, and Extended test in the City and Well water collections.

Testing includes: Uranium.

Report analysis includes: Health-risk assessment, potential plumbing and aesthetic issues (taste, odor, appearance), comparison to any regulatory limits and/or public health guidelines, and unbiased treatment recommendations.
