Pesticide Program
Pesticide formulations sold in the state are required to meet certain standards of quality. This program provides the analytical testing of these products, thus assuring that they meet these standards or their labeled guarantee. Formulated products tend not to be of as much concern as tank mixes used by professional pesticide applicators.
Pesticide residues can adversely effect human health, animal health, the marketability of agriculture commodities and the environment. To minimize the impact of this class of industrial chemicals Analytical Services regularly screens water, soil or plants for several classes of pesticide residues. Pesticide classes routinely checked are organochlorine, organonitrogen, organophosphorus, organosulfur, carbamates and herbicides requiring methylation. Many of these products are extremely toxic, and therefore it is important that they are excluded from the environment and the food chain.
