The Lake Hydrocarbon Pollutants Test is a certified laboratory test panel designed to detect and quantify petroleum-based pollutants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in your lake's water or sediment. This panel analyzes 18 specific hydrocarbon compounds using EPA Method 8270C, delivering high-sensitivity results (in parts per billion) for substances commonly linked to oil runoff, industrial discharges, and combustion byproducts. Ideal for lakes near marinas, roadways, or urban areas, this test provides essential data for diagnosing contamination, informing clean-up strategies, and protecting aquatic health.
