Sensafe Water Mercury Test 0-80ppb (50 strips)

Description

Mercury is a liquid metal found in natural deposits such as ores containing other elements. Low levels of mercury may occur naturally in water after it has passed through various mineral deposists and rock strata. Electrical products such as dry-cell batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, switches, and other control equipment also account for 50 percent of mercury used. It is regulated in drinking water to protect public health, long-term exposure may lead to kidney damage and other serious health problems.This Mercury Test Kit for water quality testing is a quick and easy method to test for low levels of Mercury. The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Mercury set by the EU and UK Drinking Water Standards is 1.0µg/l (= 0.001 ppm). With this Mercury Check you can easily test to ensure that your water is well below this level. If you buy a mercury test, make sure it is one that detects mercury at very low levels, like this one, to ensure that the Maximum Contaminant Levels are covered.

This test detects ultra lows of Mercury from the ranges of 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 ppb (= 0, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08ppm).It is ideal for process testing and detecting of unsafe levels of mercury in drinking water. Boris’ Mercury Check™ is one of the most efficient and cost effective methods on the market to test for Mercury and ensure your water is safe.
