I asked Ward labs whether they could test for chloramine and perchlorate, and they said no on both counts. Dr. Ward came on the phone and told me that nobody had ever asked for either of these, and he wasn't sure how they would test for them anyway. He wished me luck but warned me that he thought it would be hard to find someone to do these tests.
I would like to have the effect of campden tablets measured. I know what it is supposed to do, and I understand that the risk is low, but I really, really like measuring things. I like the mantra "Trust but Verify" (which to me really means the same as "Don't Trust, therefore Verify").
I also have heard that there used to be perchlorate factories in the vicinity of my house. I don't get my water from the ground nearby, but I have heard lots of bad stuff about perchlorate, and I would love to have some peace of mind on the subject.
Can anyone recommend a lab that can measure chloramine or perchlorate?
