Radiation Water Test

This test measures radioactivity in drinking water from alpha and beta particles released from elements such as radium and uranium. 

Testing is as easy as one, two, three:

1. We send you the water testing bottles.

2. You fill them using 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 and beta radiation can be emitted by naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes of uranium, radium, and other radioactive sources as well as by man-made radionuclides such as radioisotopes of strontium, and cesium. Long term exposure to low levels of radiation in drinking water is associated with increased cancer risk. This test is highly recommended for people served by a private well.

This water test package provides the required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results include analysis of Alpha Radiation and Beta Radiation from any source - including radium, uranium, cesium, and strontium, etc. While each of these individual sources can be tested and quantified individually, this broad radiological screen is recommended unless you already suspect a specific problem. Note that this test does not individually identify the sources of radiation.
