DETECTION AND DEFINITION
Iron in water
Iron contamination in water often presents noticeable signs such as a metallic taste, reddish-brown staining on fixtures, and discoloration of water. These indicators are typically observed by consumers, prompting the need for further investigation. Test kits designed specifically for iron detection provide a convenient means of confirming its presence, while more precise measurements can be obtained through laboratory analysis. Iron levels are usually expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm), indicating the concentration of dissolved iron in the water.
