Services like Tap Score (SimpleLab) offer “Drugs and PPCP Water Test” kits that target common pharmaceuticals, steroids, hormones, and endocrine disruptors. They provide sampling instructions, bottles, and prepaid shipping. Results include detailed reports with detected levels compared to benchmarks. • Other labs (e.g., Eurofins, National Testing Laboratories) can perform custom or expanded analyses for PPCPs, hormones, and emerging contaminants. Specify you want testing for pharmaceuticals (e.g., carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole), hormones (e.g., estrone, estradiol, ethinylestradiol), and related compounds. • Costs typically range from a few hundred dollars upward, depending on the number of analytes (broader panels are more expensive).

PFAS NOT DETECTED I routinely measure my water for toxins. One toxin that I pay special attention to is PFAS. PFAS are "forever chemicals" that refuse to break down, bioaccumulating in the body and bloodstream. They are potent endocrine disruptors, mimicking hormones to wreak havoc on your metabolism, immune system, and reproductive health. Long term exposure is linked to liver damage, thyroid disease, and increased risk of cancer. I just retested, this time, with a more sensitive PFAS test. Since the last test, the lab switched to EPA Method 1633, which is a newer, more sensitive PFAS method that looks for more compounds at lower detection limits than the previous panels. Result: “NOT DETECTED” on dozens of individual PFAS measured. That doesn’t exactly mean PFAS don’t exist. It means they can be there, but below what this test can reliably see and quantify, which is in the low single-digit parts-per-trillion range. The water purification system I use is reverse osmosis. It's worth routinely testing your water to make sure toxin levels are in check. The PFAS test we used is from simplelab.

Heads up: If you’re concerned about PFAS and your water supplier doesn’t yet test for them, you can have your water tested by an EPA-certified lab. Two mail-in kits that did well in our tests were TapScore from SimpleLab and Cyclopure consumerreports.org/water-co…

Very cool that you used SimpleLab. I own a lab focused on dairy & water testing. We are hoping to join as one of their network labs shortly. 👍

Third-Party Testing Results for Redmond Real Salt LeadSafeMama (Tamara Rubin, July 2024): Testing by LeadSafeMama, an independent advocate for consumer goods safety, reported 290 ppb (parts per billion) of lead and 91 ppb of arsenic in Redmond Real Salt. These levels were described as "unsafe" by Rubin, exceeding her personal thresholds for safety, though she notes her standards are stricter than regulatory limits. Critics argue her methodology (e.g., single-lab testing via SimpleLab) may not be comprehensive, as it lacks multi-lab validation to rule out outliers. Earlier reports from Rubin (2021) cited 167 ppb lead, based on aggregated consumer data, but this was later updated with the 2024 lab results. Mamavation (2023): Mamavation tested 23 salt products, including Redmond Real Salt, at an EPA-certified lab. They detected lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum in Redmond’s salt, but levels were below California’s Proposition 65 warning thresholds (0.5 µg/day for lead). Specific concentrations weren’t detailed for Redmond, but the study emphasized that all salts tested contained some heavy metals, with Redmond ranking less favorably than brands like Colima or Baja Gold. Redmond’s Own Testing: Redmond reports occasional detection of lead up to 200 ppb (rounded up, highest recorded) in their Elemental Analysis, based on 30 years of testing. They emphasize this is naturally occurring and safe in context. For a 6g daily salt intake, 200 ppb lead equates to 1.2 µg/day, well below the FDA’s provisional tolerable intake for adults (~30 µg/day). Arsenic levels are also claimed to be negligible, requiring unrealistic consumption (e.g., 1,500 servings) to reach harmful levels. Redmond argues that naturally occurring metals in unrefined salts are bound in inert forms, less bioavailable than synthetic forms, and their products undergo rigorous safety testing. Comparison to Celtic Sea Salt Celtic Sea Salt: LeadSafeMama reported 626-650 ppb lead in Celtic Sea Salt, significantly higher than Redmond’s 290 ppb. Mamavation’s testing also found heavy metals in Celtic, with lead levels higher than Redmond’s but still below Prop 65 thresholds. Celtic’s higher lead content (potentially due to its ocean source and clay-lined harvesting) makes Redmond a relatively “cleaner” option in terms of heavy metal content, though both are flagged in independent tests.

Dentaltown Anyone giving fluoride vitamins for children on well water? dentaltown.com/messageboard/… To determine the exact fluoride level in a child’s well water, the first step is testing. You can do this yourself using a Fluoride Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE), a tool specifically designed to measure fluoride ions in water. However, these electrodes require calibration with fluoride standards, which can be complex. A simpler and more accurate option is to use a state-certified water testing laboratory in your area. These labs will provide specific instructions and a collection kit, making the process straightforward. They’ll test the water for fluoride levels in parts per million (ppm) and provide you with a detailed report. For reference, the optimal fluoride concentration for preventing tooth decay is typically 0.7 ppm. To put this into perspective, the average fluoride level in the ocean is about 1.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is equivalent to 1.3 ppm. Ocean fluoride levels can range from 1.2 to 1.4 mg/L, and since 1 mg/L equals 1 ppm, the units are interchangeable. If you’d prefer a more hands-on approach, you could try over-the-counter fluoride test kits, though they are generally less accurate than laboratory testing. Online retailers like Amazon offer a variety of these kits. For example: Varify 17 in 1 Complete Drinking Water Test Kit – This kit includes tests for fluoride as well as other water parameters like hardness and pH. Alternatively, specialized water testing companies offer mail-in kits. These are more accurate than at-home tests because they involve certified laboratory analysis. A good example is the Tap Score Fluoride Water Test Kit, which provides detailed, quantified results from an accredited lab. Fluoride Water Test Kit [Certified Laboratory] – SimpleLab Tap Score – This kit allows you to collect a sample at home and send it to the lab for precise results. Whether you choose professional lab testing or at-home kits, knowing the fluoride levels in your water is key to making informed decisions for your child’s dental health.

PFAS exposure has been linked to increased risk of cancer, as well as effects on the liver, immune system, cardiovascular system and human development, according to the EPA. EPA detected "forever chemicals" in water systems serving 46 million. Is yours on our map? Toxic “forever chemicals” have been found in more than one in four public drinking water systems this year in concentrations at or above the Environmental Protection Agency’s minimum reporting levels. That’s according to new EPA data released Thursday, showing hundreds of water systems have detected PFAS. Together, these systems provide drinking water to about 46 million people. Map: Where the EPA found pollutants This map shows water systems included in the EPA's records, as of Nov. 9. It’s based on boundaries developed by SimpleLab, a water-testing company. Click on a system to see the number of pollutants detected at or above the EPA's minimum reporting levels and how much the most concentrated pollutant exceeded those levels. If you don't see a map, click here. data.usatoday.com/epa-pfas/ Of about 3,200 systems included so far, 854 measured at least one PFAS compound above the EPA’s reporting levels, according to a USA TODAY analysis of the data. USA TODAY’s analysis shows the chemicals have turned up in nearly every state, affecting water systems large and small. usatoday.com/story/news/inve…
