Recommended as a broad screen for radioactivity in drinking water from any source. Alpha and beta radiation particles can be emitted from radon, uranium, strontium, radium, and other radioactive sources. It is estimated that more than 170 million Americans drink tap water contaminated by radiation. Long-term exposure to low levels of radiation in drinking water is a serious health hazard, especially for pregnant women. This package is frequently recommended for people served by a private well.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 a detailed analysis of Alpha Radiation and Beta Radiation from any source–including radium, radon, uranium, and strontium. While each of these individual sources can be tested individually, this broad radiological screen is recommended unless you already suspect a specific problem.Included in the Extended City Water Test and Extended Well Water Test. Full Radiation Water Test Is this the right test for you? What our scientists say: “ The USGS found that 2/3 of US well water has detectable radiation, and this test is recommended for all well owners. Elevated radioactivity may occur near heavy mining activity, or where bedrock contains high levels of radioactive elements. " This is the right test if you: Are served by a private or shared well. Located in an area with potential radiological contamination. How it works 1.
