atrazine

How will I know if atrazine is in my drinking water?

Thanks to herbicides like atrazine, those days are long gone.

This may occur because pesticides such as Atrazine do not break down quickly in the environment.

The studies could also affect continued use of atrazine.

If used in combination with atrazine, it increases the persistence of the effect.

The work was paid for by Syngenta, a maker of atrazine.

One of the biggest potential threats is a herbicide called atrazine.

Studies have been performed in regards to the level of Atrazine and what is safe for human consumption.

Weed control may be needed during establishment phase, by using atrazine after planting.

At the one site without detectable atrazine, there were no hermaphrodites.

In 2003, the Agency identified 3,600 systems where atrazine was used and monitoring information was available.

How does atrazine get into my drinking water?

These systems, located primarily in the Midwest, are among the most vulnerable to atrazine exposure.

Similar observations have been reported for the herbicides trifluralin and atrazine.

The Federal Government has classified atrazine as a possible human carcinogen.

EPA regulates atrazine in drinking water to protect public health.

When the plan was developed, the river carried the greatest portion of atrazine into Lake Michigan.

The most commonly tested amount of Atrazine on amphibians is 0.1 ppb.

Scientists hired by Syngenta, a major manufacturer of atrazine, said they drew different conclusions from available research.

The major source of atrazine in drinking water is runoff from herbicide used on row crops.

This Q&A document describes the basis for the decision on atrazine and how it will be implemented.

It is based on the herbicides mesotrione, s-metolachlor, and atrazine.

Surprisingly, using atrazine and mesotrione together produced greater weed control than just the summed effect.

The cost of phasing out atrazine and replacing it with mesotione is estimated at $9.2 million.
