Poor water quality can lead to severe repercussions if left untreated. Proactive and reactive water quality assessments help prevent sickness and death from harmful water pollutants like chemicals and bacteria. CIH Environmental solutions helps conduct water quality assessments involving bacterial, Legionella, and inorganic chemical testing.
Bacterial testing involves assessing drinking water for bacteria-like coliform, which can be an indication for health issues like: intestinal infections, dysentery, hepatitis, typhoid fever, cholera, and other illnesses. Water quality assessments ensure water supplies are suitable for consumption. Testing for other bacterial elements is available upon request.
Legionella testing encompasses a building's potable and non-potable water systems. Often residing in air conditioning units and cooling towers, Legionella bacteria can also spread to pipes, shower heads, whirlpools, indoor fountains, humidifiers, and similar devices. Untreated Legionella outbreaks can result in serious health issues like Legionnaire's Disease. Testing a building's hot water and cooling towers can determine the presence of this bacteria, allowing for preventive measures to be taken.
Inorganic chemical testing ensures drinking water complies with the United States Safe Drinking Water Act. This procedure identifies common pluming metals that can seep into water lines. Lead, iron, copper and zinc are some of the metals CIH Environmental solutions monitors.
