Community Environmental
Laboratories, Inc.
(CEL) was founded in 1995 by
a Johns Hopkins' scientist with the mission statement that everyone
should have access to "safe" drinking water, regardless
of where they live. CEL's motto, "Built on Science…Growing
on Trust" has proved prophetic over the last five years.
As
we have grown, so has our list of clients which include Government
installations, The Department of the Army, City public works departments,
private water companies, public school systems, and even Universal
Studios (who utilized our services during the filming in Baltimore
of For Richer or Poorer). Now, we want to help you.
It
is our intention for this website to serve two purposes. First,
visitors can use this site as an educational resource where they
can download information on a wide array of water contaminants.
Some of the information provided for each contaminant is:
|
|
What effects the contaminant can have on you/your families' health |
|
|
What is the maximum "safe" level of this contaminant allowable in drinking water as set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) |
|
|
What damaging effects the contaminant can have on your house (plumbing, water heater, fixtures, etc.) |
|
|
What are some of the possible sources of this contaminant |
|
|
Various treatment methods for eliminating the contaminant before consumption |
The second function of this site is to allow the visitor access to a certified, modern, professional, water-testing laboratory, so they can test the quality of their drinking water. We have several "standard" testing packages, as well as a page for customizing your own water test. We send customized sample kits (via UPS) along with simple detailed sampling instructions directly to the address given. All you need to do is follow the easy-to-use sampling instructions and send back the container(s) in the supplied pre-paid box. Within 10-14 business days you will receive your detailed water analysis report.
This potability (drinkability) package tests for a broad variety of common contaminants and is a good gauge of water quality for human consumption. WellWise™ includes all tests in the Basic Well Water Testing Package plus lead and copper. |

|
This is a large menu of individual water tests in which the visitor can pick and choose individual contaminants to customize their own testing package. |
|
This page elaborates on commercial and contract laboratory services we perform. This is designed for water treatment facilities, laboratories, environmental engineering companies, process testing/control, and research and development applications. |
