There are many types of heavy metals, of course, the same is true of heavy metals in water. This chapter water quality online monitoring instrument manufacturers to understand the index of some heavy metals in water with you!

[Iron]

Speaking of iron, it is an indispensable trace metal element in the human body and is the main component of hemoglobin. There are about 3 to 5 grams of iron in human tissue. You can drink 6-12mg of iron daily through food and water, so as to meet the needs of normal physiological activities. Therefore, a small amount of iron in water is not bad for the human body, but is actually good. But if the amount of iron in the water is too high, it will harm the human body! According to the research surface of relevant departments, when the iron content exceeds 0.5mg/l, the sensory properties of drinking water will deteriorate, and special rust taste will occur. If it reaches 1mg/l, it will have a distinct metallic taste and a rust color. China has stipulated that the iron content in drinking water should not exceed 0.3mg/l.

[Manganese]

Manganese and the above mentioned iron, they are co-existing in natural water, of which manganese is not easy to oxidize in water, in the purification process is more difficult to deal with. The oxidation of manganese can accumulate in the inner wall of the pipe network, and when the water pressure fluctuates, it will rush down to a certain extent, resulting in the phenomenon of “black water”. Manganese oxidation is very toxic, can cause liver fatty lesions, cause internal organ congestion. China’s health standards stipulate that the manganese content in water can not exceed 0.1mg/L.

[Bronze]

Copper, like iron, is an indispensable and not too much trace metal element for the human body. If the copper in the water has exceeded 1.5mg/l, it will make the drinking water produce metal odor, but the copper is higher, until the intake of 100mg per day, it is likely to cause nausea, abdominal discomfort and other conditions, and seriously can cause liver disease.

[Zinc]

Zinc is also an indispensable element of the human body, but he is also an indicator that affects the sensory quality of water, when the zinc content in water reaches 10mg/l, it will cause turbidity of the water, more than 5mg/l, there will be a special metallic taste, according to the sensory indicators of water requirements, the zinc content in water in China shall not exceed 0.1mg/l.

In addition, we can carry out real-time monitoring of the indicators in the water through the online heavy metal analyzer in the water, of course, the monitoring instruments of different parameters will be different.
