Waste Water Testing
Wastewater is the polluted form of water generated from rainwater runoff and human activities. It is also called sewage. It is typically categorized by the manner in which it is generated—specifically, as domestic sewage, industrial sewage, or storm sewage (stormwater).
Wastewater is used water that has been affected by domestic, industrial and commercial use. The composition of all wastewaters is thus constantly changing and highly variable, which is why it is so difficult to pinpoint a singular definition of the word itself.
Wastewater is water that contains waste from residential, commercial, and industrial processes. Municipal wastewater contains sewage, gray water (e.g., water from sinks and showers), and sometimes industrial wastewater from small industries.
Simply using too much water can very easily be done by anyone. Running a very long shower, loading your washing machine too regularly or leaving the tap running when brushing your teeth are all examples of how easy it is to waste this valuable resource.
Major contaminates in Waste Water Testing:
Domestic wastewater contains a great variety of pollutants, such as nutrients, oil and grease, detergents, biowastes, household chemicals, heavy metals, bathing and kitchen waste, salts, pathogens, medicinal constituents, and soluble and particulate organic matter.
- Synthetic organic chemicals
- Inorganic Chemicals
- Microplastics
- Sediments
- Radioactive Substances
- Industrial Water Testing
- Construction Water Testing
- Borewell & Tanker Water Testing
- Drinking Water Testing
Who could avail Waste Water testing services?
Wastewater contains nitrogen and phosphorus from human waste, food and certain soaps and detergents. Once the water is cleaned to standards set and monitored by state and federal officials, it is typically released into a local water body, where it can become a source of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution.
Industrial wastewaters are characterized by the presence of pollutants such as heavy metals (Cd, Ni, Pb, Hg, As, Cu, Cr), high organic matter content, synthetic dyes and chemicals, suspended particles, and infectious microorganisms.
