Selenium Analysis

Selenium Analysis

This testing kit is the ideal tool for analysing the amount of selenium in your water. Selenium is a non-metallic chemical element. It is among the rarer elements on the surface of this planet. It is rarer than silver.

Selenium is released into the aquatic environment through anthropogenic activities (referring to environmental change caused or influenced by people, either directly or indirectly) such as agricultural irrigation, coal mining, and metallurgical activities, where it acts as a reproductive toxin with negative effects on waterfowl and fish.

Waterborne selenium concentrations are closely regulated worldwide. To allow for the monitoring of selenium concentrations in different types of waters, various standardised methods are implemented by regulatory bodies.

Extremely high intakes of selenium can cause severe health problems, including difficulty breathing, tremors, kidney failure, heart attacks, and heart failure.
