Pesticides are commonly found in drinking water. Pesticides are deadly chemicals used to eliminate weeds, insects and other harmful elements in crops. Their pervasive use, however, has produced its own harm. Now it is not uncommon to find pesticide contamination in our drinking water. Atrazine and Simazine are two of the pesticides most commonly found to contaminate drinking water. More than 60 million pounds of these two chemicals are introduced into the environment each year as herbicides, and left to potentially leak into the soil, groundwater, and the lakes and rivers that are the sources for the water we drink. They are so toxic that the EPA-mandated maximum level is equivalent to less than one drop in a swimming pool. There are laws that require the regular testing of community water supplies, but they are, in practice, rarely tested.

Now, Watersafe brings laboratory-level accuracy within your reach.
This one-step test kit detects two of the most common pesticides used in the United States at or below the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (Atrazine - 3 ppb and Simazine - 4 ppb).
Results in 10 minutes and no mixing or measuring required.
