Simple Paper Test May Detect Pesticides

Here’s a new-age idea that we’ve fantasized about for quite some time. The New York Times is reporting that a lab in Canada has developed a simple paper test that detects the presence of certain types of pesticides in food and environmental samples. When this product hits the market, it will help you determine if your juice or fruit is laced with toxins, or perhaps if the lawn in that house you just purchased was treated with stuff that you don’t want your child crawling through.
