GEOSMIN TESTING

GEOSMIN TESTING SERVICES

Geosmin (GSM) is an algae metabolite that has a musty odor that has been known to contaminate water sources and can be absorbed by aquatic organisms. It can be perceived by humans in water and seafood products at levels as little as 1 nanogram per liter. Despite being nontoxic to humans, this can cause water and seafood products to taste unpleasant to humans. Any municipal water collection facility, seafood farm, and residential properties with private water sources should all consider having their water tested for the presence of Geosmin.
