What is Sewage Contaminants Analysis?
Identifying Hidden Threats in Wastewater & Sewage Systems
Wastewater can carry a hidden cocktail of contaminants—from dangerous bacteria to industrial chemicals. If left unchecked, these substances can:
- Trigger public health crises through exposure to pathogens and toxins
- Pollute waterways and damage aquatic life
- Cause compliance violations that result in hefty fines or shutdown
With Leeder Analytical, you get reliable insights and actionable data to protect your people, your operation, and the environment.
Common Sewage Contaminants We Test For:
- Biological pathogens (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites)
- Heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium)
- Pharmaceutical residues (e.g., antibiotics, hormones)
- Industrial chemicals (e.g., solvents, pesticides, PFAS)
- Nutrients (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus)
- Emerging contaminants (e.g., microplastics, personal care products)
Understanding and testing for sewage contamination is essential to ensuring public health, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection in wastewater management.
