Identify Pesticides at Illegal Marijuana Grows
With the addition of the pesticide capabilities, the MX908 provides critical identification of toxic pesticides in the field, allowing users to act immediately, while keeping themselves safe.
Pesticide Identification
The increasing size of the illegal marijuana market has given rise to an increasing number of trespass cannabis cultivation throughout the world. The heavy use of toxic pesticides by these illegal growers has had significant impact on the environment and wildlife. Many of these pesticides are so toxic, they are heavily restricted or even completely banned by many governments. In addition to the threat these pesticides pose to the environment, they also pose a great threat to responding law enforcement and agencies tasked with dismantling these operations.
With the addition of the pesticide capabilities, the MX908 provides critical identification of toxic pesticides in the field, allowing users to act immediately, while keeping themselves safe. Whether it be on site at an illegal marijuana grow, or at the border identifying smuggled pesticides, the MX908 provides accurate identification of pesticides at trace levels, in a handheld device, for the first time ever.

|---|---|
| Aldicarb | Diazinon |
