TapScore Extended Radiological Water Test

Tap Score offers the most comprehensive targeted testing package designed to identify contaminants commonly responsible for radioactivity in drinking water. Ideal for clients already aware of the radiological issues within their water supplies, our tests aim to accurately pinpoint the exact source of the problem. To make your water safe we conduct a cost-effective and broad radiological scan recommended as a starting point: the Full Radiation Water Test. Our tests carefully examine an array of contaminants related to radioactivity. These include gross alpha particles, gross beta particles, uranium, potassium, potassium-40, radon, radium-226, radium-228, cesium-137, and strontium-90. Radioactivity in water is often linked to naturally occurring factors such as uranium present in nearby bedrock. However, proximity to waste facilities, heavy agricultural activity, and oil and gas activity can also elevate the radioactivity levels in water. It's a concerning fact that approximately 170 million Americans are drinking tap water contaminated by radiation. Long term exposure to low levels of radiation in drinking water poses a serious health hazard, particularly for pregnant women. This is why our Tap Score water test package includes all required materials for the correct collection and submission of a sample for certified laboratory testing. The provided results will deliver a detailed quantified analysis of all tested parameters. Take note that if no total strontium is detected, results will be completed within 12 working days. If total strontium does include a detection, a further analysis will be commenced to identify strontium-90. This may extend up to 3 weeks in order to obtain an accurate result. Worth noting, the USGS found that 2/3 of US well water has detectable radiation. At Tap Score, our aim is to identify and address potential radiological problems in your water supply. Our tests are highly recommended for those living near a nuclear reactor, a nuclear waste site, those concerned about contamination from nearby polluted waste, or those simply seeking the most comprehensive package addressing radiological concerns.
