    6.600 ppb
    EPA limit 6.000 ppb
  • AR

    Arsenic

    Arsenic is a toxic element found in rocks and soil. It enters water through natural erosion and human activities like mining. Long-term exposure causes cancer and organ damage.

    3.100 ppm
    EPA limit 2.000 ppm
  • GR

    Gross Alpha Particle Activity

    Gross Alpha Particle Activity measures radioactivity from alpha-emitting elements in water. It's often linked to uranium and radium in groundwater, increasing cancer risk.

    31.200 pci/l
    EPA limit 15.000 pci/l
  • MA
