Improved Testing Methods Announced for Detecting and Analyzing Emerging Contaminants in Drinking Water

摘要

Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global, independent product safety certification organization in drinking water quality and safety, announced that it has combined existing proprietary testing methods for identifying emerging contaminants in water. Using highly specific and sensitive instrumentation practices, UL has developed two methods that provide analytical services for contaminants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the 160,000 water supplies in the United States. UL combined its existing methods to develop UL test method L222 used for the analysis of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and PPCPs.
