Pesticide and Biocide Residue Testing
category
Pesticide and biocide residue testing quantifies agricultural chemical residues including organochlorine, organophosphate, pyrethroid, and neonicotinoid pesticides in natural fibre textiles, and biocide active substance residues from antimicrobial finishing treatments, using multi-residue GC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods against regulatory maximum residue limits.
Role
Protects consumers from dermal exposure to neurotoxic and endocrine-disrupting pesticide residues in cotton, wool, and silk textiles arising from intensive agricultural chemical use during fibre cultivation, and ensures biocide-treated textiles comply with EU Biocidal Products Regulation authorisation requirements.
