Drug residues & pesticides

Exclude contamination in tap water

• Easy sampling can be carried out at home
• Water analysed using a high-tech process in an accredited German water laboratory
• Also tests for X-ray contrast agents & sweeteners free of charge

The drug & pesticide water test checks your water for residues of drugs and pesticides that could jeopardise your health. Antibiotic and painkiller residues in particular are often found in the water from your own tap, as they can get into the groundwater when expired medicines are disposed of in the toilet. Studies also show that certain pesticides used for crop protection in agriculture can leach into the groundwater and thus into drinking water. The various health risks associated with the intake of pesticides range from liver and kidney damage to the risk of cancer and foetal malformations.

With the Drug & Pesticide Water Test, you can check your drinking water for these risks and also receive a free analysis for X-ray contrast agents and sweeteners.

Our team will dispatch your test kit within 24 hours, including detailed instructions and a free return label. Using the instructions, you can easily take the water sample yourself at home. You then send the test to our laboratory, which analyses your sample, and you can then access your results online in a clearly structured format. The IVARIO drinking water experts will be happy to help you both in advance and to clarify any questions you may have about your personal test results, which you can view online after a few days.
