of lead contamination and I will assume that you refer to potable water as the
main area for concern. Here in the UK the DWI Drinking Water Inspectorate
has responded to this problem by issuing new guidelines for sampling and
reporting of lead in 'clean' water,
New regulations will cut lead levels in drinking
water
In response to your second point
>the problem we have is identifying this because of problemns in >collecting regular water >samples for analysis > >we have a large area to cover and high costs for administration and >laboratories our systems are old and need replacing has anybody >information on this please I assume you are manually collecting samples for
laboratory analysis and need to transport them, monitor results and report on
them? If this is the case you really need sampling system and laboratory
management system in place to handle this.
There are a number of products available to aid you here, one package I recall is from Trilogy I believe this package covers all typical
requirements from sample scheduling and collecting to laboratory anaylsis and
reporting, and probably worth a look. You may need to check with them if it will
work in your country but I believe it is supported in most countries.
There are other suppliers of laboratory control systems which may be worth looking at (I think one was called labcontroller but don't have details on this. Regards
