What Does This Mean For You?
Detecting Radiologicals in your water supply does not necessarily mean immediate danger, but long-term exposure -- even at low levels -- carries measurable health risk. Reverse osmosis removes radium and uranium effectively. Aeration or activated carbon addresses radon.
