Table of Water Test Parameters: Comprehensive adding Pesticide Contaminants
Readers should note that there are two broad groups of pesticide (such as DDT) tests that may be ordered from most labs. The choice of pesticide test group depends on the history of the property and whether or not an older or more recent
collection of pesticides are suspected of having been employed.
Be sure to review actual parameters with your home inspector or laboratory: parameters and costs vary.
