ALERT: Neonic pesticides in tap water react with chlorine to create hazardous chemicals that are 300 times more toxic
Researchers warn that conventional methods for treating water can trigger chemical reactions in neonicotinoid contaminants. The resulting metabolites are proven to be far more toxic than the original “neonic” pesticides. Their newest experiment followed up on their discovery of neonicotinoids in tap water sources.
