Rapid Screening for Agrichemical Residues Challenge Pesticides and other agrichemicals have been found in the source water supplies in many part of the United States. Many of these chemicals have been shown to persist in the finished drinking water. Agrichemical developers and manufacturers need accurate, objective answers to determine the persistence of the chemicals they are working with, and the most effective methods to keep drinking supplies safe. Solution Battelle developed a new testing methodology to rapidly screen water samples for a number of emerging contaminants and current-use pesticides. We then studied different treatment strategies to determine the most effective way to remediate and dispose of compromised water. In order to compare different remediation options, we measure
