Heavy Metals - Toxic Metals

Excessive levels of toxic heavy metals can be hazardous to man, animals, and plants. By definition, a heavy metal has a specific gravity of about 5.0 or greater and is usually poisonous. The term heavy metal, however, is often broadly applied to include other potentially hazardous elements, even if they do not meet the strict chemical definition.

Wastewater discharge levels of the “heavy metals” arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and selenium (Se) are regulated by the EPA and could be more stringent through State and Local government.

ALAR’s technology reduces toxic heavy metals to meet the EPA’s strict MP&M regulations.
