We know Water

Phosphates (PO₄) are extensively used in detergent formulations, in food processing and in industrial water treatment processes. Phosphates can therefore enter water courses through a variety of routes particularly domestic and industrial effluents and run-off from agricultural land. Phosphate is an important control test for natural and drinking waters.

Whilst phosphates are not generally considered harmful for human consumption, they do exhibit a complex effect on the natural environment. In particular, phosphates are associated with eutrophication of water and with rapid unwanted plant growth in rivers and lakes. Phosphates present in natural water pass through into drinking water supplies.

The Palintest Tubetests Phosphate/12P test provides a simple method of measuring orthophosphate levels over the range 0-12 mg/l P (0-36 mg/l PO₄).
