Herbicides
This soil test detects harmful herbicides that may be lingering unnoticed. This contamination is not only harmful for the outdoor environment of your home, but may also result in polluting your drinking water.
Herbicides are often used to kill unwanted plants in our yards and gardens. These chemicals can be found in products such as Roundup and Spectracide, and are used to kill weeds. Although this is helpful in the short term, it can be harmful to our bodies. Exposure can come through direct contact with our skin, inhalation, or consumption.
Recent research has shown some of the compounds can kill human cells. Long term exposure can cause the following:
Individuals who directly apply herbicides in their yards are at the most risk for exposure.
If it is, one of our certified sample technicians will come directly to your home to retrieve a sample. From there, it will be delivered to the lab for various testing following EPA Method 8151A.
Laboratory equipment will include the Gas Chromatograph coupled with an Electron Capture Detector. This instrument will accurately detect these harmful pollutants at the lowest possible detection levels.
