What is Sulfate:
Sulfate is present at widely varying conditions in natural waters. Sulfate levels are monitored in the beverage industry as well as in cooling water and ion exchange systems in order to prevent calcium sulfate scale formation.
Sulfate Exposure and Health Risks:
Increased concentration of sulfate in water will cause it to have a salty taste and odor. Sulfate ions act as an osmotic laxative. Increased exposure to sulfate will increase large intestinal motility and inhibit large intestine fluid/electrolyte absorption.
