Do you know of a valid lab test for the the metabolite of 1080 in water, Geoff? NZ Gov is deliberately using a test that is 35 years old for the raw poison only, which easily dissolves in water. Its the reverse of Covid - dont look for it, you wont find it, rather than looking for anything at all and claiming “eureka!”
New Zealand was part of a multinational Chemical Weapons discovery program and I know that covered 1080 and FluoroCitrate. You could perhaps do an archive search in NZ or it might need FOI to get things. Try Winston Peters for advice? Will see if I have anything useful. Metabolisn varies depending on aerobic or non-aerobic conditions and transformations by microorganisms and up the food chain.

Pfizer Paxlovid can end up pumping more 1080 into the environment

We need to talk!
The document I was thinking about is probably D.E.A. RIVETT THE PREPARATION OF FLUOROCITRIC
ACID AND ATTEMPTED SYNTHESIS OF
FLUOROPYRUVIC ACID
from Porton Down TECHNICAL PAPER No. 319
Rivett was from South Africa
March 1984
TOXIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUOROCITRATE, THE TOXIC
METABOLITE OF COMPOUND 1080

Yup - and i have lots more like that from 10 years of research into this horror story! 1080science.co.nz
If you have friends in UK they might have to visit National Archives, Kew for more.
Bookmarked, thanks
