Why Monitor Water for Cadmium with KETOS

Cadmium is a heavy metal that often combines with other substances, including oxygen, sulfur, and chlorine. It is often extracted as a by-product during zinc, lead, and copper production. It’s also used in many consumer products (jewelry, batteries, and metal coatings). Cadmium can leach into water via galvanized pipes, and levels of cadmium in water might be higher in water with low pH, as low pH water can be more corrosive to plumbing systems. It can also get into water due to its use in various industrial processes. Even low levels of exposure to cadmium over time can cause multiple types of health issues in humans. For this reason, the US EPA, FDA, and DWI all limit the maximum amount of cadmium in water to 0.005 mg/L.

Monitoring for cadmium using KETOS is just the beginning.
