There are several methods used to test water for contaminants:
- Chemical Testing: This involves using reagents to detect specific chemicals and heavy metals in water samples. - Biological Testing: This method examines water for microbial contaminants such as bacteria and viruses. - Physical Testing: Physical properties like color, turbidity, and odor are assessed to identify potential contamination. - Radiological Testing: This is used to detect radioactive substances like radon and uranium.
