Heavy metals are pollutants that can enter the water system through groundwater maybe present in soil. Arsenic, cadmium and lead are just a few of the heavy metals in the environment. Heavy metal pollution can be caused by manufacturing processes especially pesticide and fertilizer production. Testing is completed through the collection of water, soil or air samples, in Virginia, Maryland, DC.
