This proficiency test can evaluate your testing ability for organochlorine pesticides in waste water. From this your wider quality assurance activities can be benchmarked and informed, from which to safeguard your overall testing ability offered to your customers.

Organochlorine pesticides are used in agricultural practices to ensure high quality yields are achieved. It is important to highlight any potentially unsafe levels of these controlled pesticides within drinking water.

Their high levels, if missed, can be passed to consumers due to improper water treatment processes being used. This can prove harmful to consumers in large doses, hence the requirement of stringent testing regimes. Organochlorine pesticides are extremely persistent in humans, and variants are classed as toxic. Hence the requirement of highly effective testing.
