Why Test for VOCs and SVOCs?
VOCs and SVOCs are commonly found in drinking water due to their widespread use in industrial, agricultural, and residential settings. These compounds can:
Pose Health Risks
Exposure to VOCs such as benzene, trichloroethylene, and toluene is linked to cancer, liver damage, and neurological disorders. SVOCs, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), may cause long-term health issues.
Lead to Regulatory Violations
Failing to meet EPA limits for VOCs and SVOCs can result in penalties and risks to public health. Ensure compliance through our regulatory compliance testing for both public and private sector clients.
Contaminate Groundwater
These compounds are highly mobile, making them a common issue in private wells and groundwater systems.
Affect Water Quality
VOCs often give water an unpleasant chemical taste or odor.
Did You Know?
VOCs are more likely to evaporate into the air, while SVOCs tend to settle in water, making both critical to test for comprehensive safety.
