| Analysis of Pesticide Residues on Soft Drinks |
|
A study by the Pollution Monitoring Laboratory of the Centre for Science and Environment
(CSE), New Delhi
|
|
In February, we released a study on
pesticide residues in bottled water. Readers asking if the same was true for cold drinks. Yes,
this time the stakes are higher. Tests carried out by CSE's Pollution Monitoring
Laboratory found deadly insecticides in 12 leading brands of cold drinks. Can get
away with this?
