Harmful farm pesticide detected in drinking water in US

One of the most dangerous pesticides has been found in drinking water, a new study reveals.

Scientists say neonicotinoids, which attack cells in the human nervous system, have been spotted in taps across the US.

The class of insecticides is one of the most commonly used across the country, branded as being safer than other chemicals on the market.

But chronic exposure to the pesticide has been linked in damage to the central nervous system that could result in paralysis or even death.
