Heavy Metal Testing

Heavy metal testing refers to the process of measuring the levels of toxic metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, in various materials like water, soil, food, and products. These metals can pose serious health risks to humans and the environment. Testing is essential to ensure safety, as exposure can lead to health issues such as neurological damage or organ dysfunction. Methods include laboratory analysis using techniques like atomic absorption or mass spectrometry, which accurately detect and quantify metal concentrations. Regular testing helps regulate safety standards and protects public health.
