    9.800 pci/l
    EPA limit 5.000 pci/l
  • 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.

    26.500 pci/l
    EPA limit 15.000 pci/l
