Ice Mountain Spring Water Plastic Bottle

Bromate detected at 0.5 µg/L, above EWG's strict health guideline of 0.1 µg/L; below the EPA legal limit of 10 µg/L.

Radium detected at 0.054 pCi/L, above EWG's strict health guideline of 0.05 pCi/L; below the EPA legal limit of 5 pCi/L.

Gross beta radiation reflects beta-emitting radionuclides like strontium-90 and cesium-137; flagged because it indicates radioactive contamination. Reported value: 0.7 pCi/L.

Gross alpha radiation reflects total alpha-emitting radionuclides such as uranium and thorium; flagged because it indicates radioactive contamination. Reported value: 0.1 pCi/L.

Barium detected at trace level (5 µg/L), well below typical safety concerns.

Uranium detected at 1 µg/L, above EWG's strict health guideline of 0.43 µg/L; below the EPA legal limit of 30 µg/L.

Chloramine is a disinfectant byproduct; chronic ingestion has been linked to gastrointestinal and respiratory irritation. Reported value: 0.001 mg/L.

Residual chlorine is a disinfectant byproduct; not desirable in finished drinking water and can affect taste. Reported value: 0.005 mg/L.

Nitrate (as NO3) detected at 8.68 mg/L, more than 10× EWG's strict health guideline of 0.62 mg/L; below the EPA legal limit of 44 mg/L. (Inferred from "Elevated nitrate can form carcinogenic nitrosamines and pose…")

Nickel can cause allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory sensitization, and has carcinogenic potential on inhalation. Reported value: 0.0012 mg/L.

Chromium (especially Cr-VI) is a known carcinogen; exceeding the health guideline is a serious safety concern. Reported value: ~8x guideline.

Bromide itself is mostly a precursor; elevated levels increase risk of bromate formation during disinfection. Reported value: 0.0195 mg/L.

Fluoride detected at 0.29 mg/L, below EWG's strict health guideline of 0.7 mg/L.

Chloride supports electrolyte balance, acid-base homeostasis, and proper nerve and muscle function. Reported value: 9.3 mg/L.

Sodium is an essential electrolyte for nerve transmission and fluid balance. Naturally occurring in mineral water at moderate levels. Reported value: 7.4 mg/L.

Sulfate is naturally occurring and contributes to taste; moderate amounts are well tolerated. Reported value: 16.7 mg/L.
