Why test for it?
Pesticide analysis is relevant for private supplies in agricultural catchments and for filter performance claims.
Where can it come from?

How is it measured?
Determined by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS against an agreed target list. Compounds not on the list are not reported.

Pesticide reporting is only as broad as the target list. The list is defined during project design and stated on the report.
