Ungar proposes regional tests of public water
Arlington based consulting chemist John Ungar urged the New York State Board of Health to adopt regional testing facilities for public water samples. He criticized current procedures as too liberal, called for 12 hour sample analysis, and suggested reducing the acceptable bacteria count from 100 to 1 per milliliter. He urged field or independent regional testing stations and warned against delayed sampling, asserting regional labs would yield more meaningful data.
