Mercury Research

See all Research on Mercury in Drinking Water.

Mercury can be found in water from a variety of natural and human-made sources, such as coal-burning power plants, mining activities, and waste disposal sites. It can also enter water bodies from the atmosphere and through runoff from contaminated soil. Exposure to high levels of mercury in water can be harmful to human health, particularly for pregnant women and children. That’s why it’s important to regularly test water for the presence of mercury. Professional water testing services, like Olympian Water Testing, can help detect the presence of mercury and other contaminants in water, ensuring its safety and potability.
