MCL = Maximum
Concentration Limit. The maximum amount allowed in your water supply.
MDL = Minimum
Detection Limit. The numbers given represent the sensitivity of the tests being
used. Some parameters can be tested using more sensitive methods when it is
necessary.
Also
see Microorganism / Coliforms,
Giardia etc EPA: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/mcl.html#mcls
Tests of individual parameters are
always more expensive.
If you request our
RAPID SCREEN test, you will get important results for many more tests and
