Strontium-90 in Bon Ami Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Strontium-90 in the Water Supply of Bon Ami Florida Homes

Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium chemically, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into a Bon Ami home without any taste, odor, or color to signal its presence. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s in your water is with laboratory testing that targets radionuclides.

In Bon Ami households the water you use for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all matters, so concerns about strontium-90 often go beyond the kitchen faucet. If tests show elevated levels, the objective is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so every fixture receives protection. A single point-of-use filter can help at one sink, but it won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots—while a well-chosen whole-house system gives more consistent treatment across daily water use.
