Element provides accredited laboratory testing of drinking water for the presence of synthetic organic compounds (SOCs), in accordance with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
Synthetic Organic Compounds (SOCs) are manmade chemicals commonly used as pesticides, herbicides, and fuel additives. These carbon-based chemicals can cause water pollution through runoff from farms, storm water runoff, discharge from factories, and other routes that affect the drinking water supply. The Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that all public water supplies be tested for the presence of potential contaminants, including SOCs.
To test for SOCs in water, Element sends out a water sample collection kit. Using the kit, the customer collects water samples for eight different types of drinking water tests and mails them to an Element laboratory. This is a convenient, straightforward process that produces clear and accurate results.
