REPORT TERMINOLOGY & DEFINITIONS Parameter: Instrument Limit: *EPA Limit: mg/L: ND: Parameter Effect: --: LAB RESULT QUALIFIERS Good: Fair: Poor: Bad: Fail: Specific element, compound, or condition being measured. Lowest level of a parameter our instrument can detect (Method Detection Limit). Highest level of a parameter allowable by US-EPA standards. Unit of measurement used to describe how many miligrams of a parameter is present in every liter of your water - also referred to as parts per million (ppm). Parameter was not detected in your water sample. Illustrates possible effects to your Health, House, or the Aesthetics of your water. No EPA limit or acceptable range associated with the parameter. Not detected in your water sample, or the measurement falls within EPA acceptable range. Concentration is less than half of the EPA limit, if there is a limit listed. If no EPA limit is listed, yellow indicates that we simply detected the parameter in your sample. Concentration is greater than half of EPA limit. Over EPA limit, or the measurement falls outside of EPA acceptable range. Your in-lab bacteria sample (not DIY) arrived at our lab more than 24hrs after collection. PARAMETER EFFECTS Aesthetics:Concentrations considered higher, or out of range, may affect taste, smell or visual appearance of your water. Concentrations considered higher, or out of range, may adversely affect your appliances, plumbing fixtures, etc. Appliances: Health:Concentrations considered higher, or out of range, may adversely affect your health. EPA limits are established for public utilities and treated water supplies. These standards may be referred to as Action Levels, Maximum Contaminant Levels or Acceptable Ranges. Such standards are also valuabe for owners of well water supplies. Note: Test results within EPA standards do not guarantee the safety of your water supply. Example - Lead has an Action Level of 0.015 ppm. However, no level of Lead is safe to consume.
