Gross Alpha Rapid Water Test

This test measures radioactivity in drinking water from alpha particles released from elements such as radium and uranium. This is the rapid gross alpha test that analyzes the sample within 48 hours of sample collection to identify alpha particles from radioactive isotopes with short half lives.

Testing is as easy as one, two, three:

1. We send you the water testing bottles.

2. You fill them using our easy instructions and ship them to the lab with the pre-paid label.

3. We email you personalized easy to understand results directly from Dr. Spayd with an explanation of any problems detected.

Alpha radiation can be emitted by naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes of uranium, radium, and other radioactive sources as well as by man-made radionuclides. Long term exposure to low levels of radiation in drinking water is associated with increased cancer risk. This test is highly recommended for people using private wells.

This water test package provides the required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results include analysis of Rapid Gross Alpha.
