Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Is there an easy way or kit to test for antimony or BPA-like ferric chloride? I am trying to measure concentrations of antimony and BPA in liquids.

Thanks!

Hello NiceGirl761,

Both BPA and Antimony are difficult to detect in very small quantities such as you will find if you are looking for environmental contamination. The tests require expensive lab instruments.

Standard methods exist for testing for higher concentrations. Just do a web search and you'll turn up your options.

Good luck, WW

Very helpful, thank you.
