Glyphosate Water Test Kit for Well or City Water

Is Glyphosate (Roundup) in Your Drinking Water?

Tests your well or city water for the presence of glyphosate (commonly known as Roundup™) — a widely used herbicide in household landscaping and industrial agricultural applications that can leach into groundwater and drinking water supplies.

Why Glyphosate Matters (Health Concerns, EPA Limits)

Glyphosate’s biologic half-life ranges from 3 days to over 170 days depending on the environmental conditions; it is strongly adsorbed to soils and the chemical is primarily decomposed by microorganisms in the environment.  For humans and animals, glyphosate does not easily pass through the skin, but once it enters the body it is not significantly altered; it will flush from the body via urine and fecal material in about 3 weeks. Some adverse effects from direct contact with the herbicide include temporary symptoms of dermatitis, eye ailments, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Glyphosate has been linked to potential toxic effects to human embryonic cells and endocrine disruption. Long-term feeding studies in animals were assessed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory authorities.

Glyphosate is regulated as a primary drinking water standard and the MCL and MCLG are both 0.7 mg/L. The EPA has a DWEL of 70 mg/L (noncarcinogenic) and the EPA classification for glyphosate "not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity".  Canada has a standard of 0.28 mg/L.
