PHYSICAL PARAMETERS
ODOR; MCL = none, recommended < 2 - Scale 0 = none, 1 =
very faint, 2 = faint, 3 = distinct. 4 = decided.
5 = strong. Good well water should be free of odor.
TURBIDITY; MCL = none, recommended < 5 - A measure of
particles in the water, usually indicates iron.
PH; MCL = none, recommended 6.4 - 10.0 - pH ranges from
0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral , < 7 is acidic, > 7 is
basic. A pH less than 6.4 is considered acidic and
may be corrosive to pipinq.
COLOR; MCL = none, recommended < 15 - High color usually
indicates the presence of iron.
INORGANIC PARAMETERS
NIRITE NITROGEN; MCL 1.0 mq/L - An intermediate breakdown
product of orqanic matter. See nitrate comment.
NITRATE NITROGEN; MCL 10.0 mq/L - The final completely
oxidized staqe of nitrogen. Levels above 10 are known
to be harmful to infants. Preqnant/nursihq mothers
and parents of infants should consult with a phvsican.
CHLORIDE; MCL 250 mq/L - The non-metallic portion of common
salt. Levels above 50 mq/L may indicate undesirably
high sodium levels and it also may appreciably
increase corrosion rates. Levels above 250 mq/L inpart
a salty taste noticeable to most people.
HARDNESS; MCL none - A measure of the total calcium and
magnesium in water. Waters over 100 mq/L are described
as hard and levels over 250 mq/L are considered very
hard. The effect of hardness is to increase the amount
of soap necessary to form suds with water. Hiqh -levels
may also increase scalinq on the inside of water pipes.
IRON; MCL none - Above 0.3 mq/L iron may cause staininq to
laundry and fixtures. Iron is naturally occurrinq
water mineral due to the geology of the area.
MANGENESE; MCL none - Above 0.05 mq/L mangense may cause
staininq to laundry and fixtures. See iron comment
SULFATE; MCL none - A naturally occuring substance in
water, levels above 250 mq/L may inpart a bitter taste
and render a laxative effect.
SODIUM; MCL none - A notification level of 28 mq/L has been
established for people on low salt diets, high levels
may increase the corrosive effect.
ORGANIC CHEMICALS
VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICALS (VOC) - see report for a listinq
of the individual chemical MCL. VOC's are a gas chro-
matographic scan of 58 compounds. This list was de-
termined by the Conneticut State Department of Health.
These compounds include some of the more commonly found
ground water contaminates.
