Testing Water Quality Is A Critical Step To Avoid Environmental Hazards!

Life without water is hard to imagine. It is the most abundant resource that nature has gifted us. Even though 70% of Earth is covered with water, not all of it is suitable for consumption. A major percentage of this ratio is formed by sea water which cannot be used. The remaining of the percentage is formed by rivers, lakes, and ponds which are also becoming polluted because of the rising population. Therefore, it has become quintessential to check the quality of water in a water testing lab for any pollutants before consuming it.

Why do we need Water Testing?

Water is vital to the social‌, economical, and healthy well being of humans and livestock. From as important thing as drinking to a banal chore of washing and cleaning, water is required everywhere and everyday in our daily lives. We can’t compromise with the quality of water otherwise it will affect our health. While chores of cleaning and washing can still be done with a small amount of harmless impurities, water for drinking and consumption should be free of any germs and adulteration. Impure water with microbes and harmful elements can take a serious toll on our health. It is also not necessary that water is pure if it looks clean. It may contain harmful elements which are not visible to the naked eyes.

Similarly, industries cannot thrive without water. Any industry you set up will need water for production purposes. From food production industries to petroleum refineries, everyone needs water. Various industries have different water requirements. Any unwanted or untoward element in the water can hamper the process and ultimately affect living beings.

Therefore, it is necessary to monitor your water source regularly to ensure safe standards. It should be free of any impurities or any disarray from the specifications mentioned by Bureau of Indian Standards (BSI). Both natural drinking water and the packaged drinking water should meet the requirements as specified by BSI.

Everyone has an equal right to water. But there are still some areas in the country where clean water is still a distant dream. Spectro is the best water testing lab in Delhi which understands the importance of water purity for human consumption and industrial works. They offer competitive facilities for testing of drinking water and wastewater. They also own a well equipped laboratory which possesses the most advanced and modernized instruments required for checking and testing water contamination. They’re carry out a complete analysis of water samples used in batteries, petroleum refineries, fermentation industries, food processing industries, cooling towers etc.

Testing water regularly will help you make informed decisions about the quality of water and select an appropriate treatment for it. It is also pertinent to test the suitability of water for its intended purpose like irrigation, food production, etc.

So what Parameters are used for Testing Water?

The quality of water can be degraded by both natural and human activities. There are three parameters which affect the quality of water in the environment. These can be physical, chemical, and biological. These parameters are not only used in the study of surface water of oceans, lakes, and rivers but also apply on the study of groundwater and industrial processes as well. Our water testing lab in Delhi checks the quality of water and draws analysis on the following parameters.

1. Physical Parameters:

• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
• Temperature
• Turbidity
• Color
• Odor
• Taste

2. Chemical Parameters

• Acidity/Alkalinity
• Hardness
• pH
• Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
• Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
• Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
• Pesticides
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
• Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB)
• Trichloroethylene and Trichloromethane
• Lead, Calcium, Arsenic, Nitrites and Cyanide content
• Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Studies (TCLP)
• Phenolic Compounds
• Ammoniacal Nitrogen

3. Microbiological Parameters

• Faecal coliform
• Total coliform
• Faecal streptococci
• E.coli
• Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
• Salmonella
• Toxicity tests
• Vibrio cholera
• Enterovirus
• Legionella species
