Laboratory Analysis of Water Samples

Laboratory analysis of water samples involves testing collected water to assess its quality and safety. Scientists examine the sample for pollutants, harmful bacteria, chemicals, and minerals to determine if it meets health standards. This process includes various tests, such as identifying contaminants, measuring pH levels, and analyzing levels of substances like lead or pesticides. The goal is to ensure the water is safe for drinking, recreation, or industrial use, and to identify any treatment needed to improve its quality. Accurate analysis helps protect public health and the environment by providing critical information about water safety.
