Imidacloprid Water Test
Recommended for targeted testing for imidcloprid in drinking water. Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in the world. It is an insect neurotoxin in the class of compounds known as neonicotinoids and is a suggested culprit for colony collapse disorder among honey bees. While only rated "moderately toxic" among mammals, imidacloprid boasts high solubility in water and long term persistence in the environment. Therefore, the US EPA considers imidacloprid a likely surface water and potential groundwater contaminant. No studies have yet investigated the health impact on humans of chronic ingestion of imidacloprid in drinking water.
This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed analysis of imidacloprid by EPA method 632 (or equivalent).
Imidacloprid Water Test
Is this the right test for you?
What our scientists say:
“ While only deemed "moderately toxic" among mammals, imidacloprid is highly soluble in water and may persist in the environment for a long time. Imidacloprid is a likely surface water and groundwater contaminant due to its widespread use on crops. "
This is the right test if you:
- Specifically concerned about imidacloprid contamination.
- Live near an area with heavy agricultural and farming activity.
