The Metals Test analyzes 17 priority heavy metals commonly linked to industrial runoff, urban pollution, and legacy contamination in lakes. Using certified EPA and CAM 17 methods, this lab-based test identifies toxic elements such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, as well as essential metals like copper and zinc that can become harmful at elevated levels. These metals may threaten aquatic life, destabilize lake ecosystems, and pose serious health risks to people—especially in lakes used for swimming, fishing, or drinking water. This test is ideal for those looking to understand and manage potential metal contamination in their watershed.
