Based on the field investigation and the Laboratory experiment, and taking the Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques as the key data disposal platform, the spatial and temporal differences and the enrichment characteristics of atrazine in the surface water in East Liaohe River Basin were systematically analyzed, the effect factors on that also were interpreted. The results show that, the average atrazine content in waters in regions with glebe or without glebe were namely 9.71 microg x L(-1) and 8.854 microg x L(-1), and the lower reach of the trunk was formed as the focus filed of the atrazine in waters. July is the month that the water contained the largest atrazine with the maximum content of 18.93 microg x L(-1). The spatial pattern of the atrazine in the waters clearly shows that, the atrazine used in the glebe are endangering the surface waters quality in the whole basin and will worsen the waters environment of East Liaohe River basin. The normalized enrichment index of the atrazine in the surface water related to plant atrazine is 0.605-1.750 with the spatial difference, the right part of the trunk is the continuous region with high index, the left part of the trunk is on the contrary, and the lower reaches is the focus region with high index. The normalized enrichment index of the atrazine in the surface waters related to soil atrazine has the spatial difference same to the index related to soil, however, the region with large index or little index has the scattering features. With respect to the effect of soil on the atrazine in the water, the integrated token index of the low moor peat soil is the largest and the peat moor soil and the paddy soil are the least. With respect to effect of the landscape pattern on the atrazine in the surface waters, the integrated token index will increase with the interaction between patches. With a certain range, the integrated token index will increase with the precipitation and runoff; however, the integrated token index will decrease with precipitation if the precipitation excesses the range.

Background: Atrazine (ATZ), a pesticide that poses serious health problems, is observed in the environment, thereby prompting its periodic monitoring and control using functional biosensors. However, established methods for ATZ detection have limited applicability. Two-dimensional (2D) metal azolate frameworks (MAF) have a higher surface area per unit volume and provide easier access to active sites.

Atrazine (ATR) is an endocrine disruptor known for its persistence and mobility. While the diffuse characteristics and potential risks of ATR have been extensively studied, its transregional migration and degradation characteristics have received less attention. In this study, a modified mass balance approach considering the diffuse source (DS), tributaries, water resource usage, degradation, adsorption, and evaporation was developed based on the traditional mass balance framework and field sampling to estimate the DS fluxes of ATR in a large river basin.

This study considered the effects of fluoride, MgO, sucrose, and rGO on the characteristics of the fluoride-carbon-MgO/rGO predicted (F-C-MgO/rGOP) catalyst and its effectiveness in the catalytic ozonation process (COP) for atrazine elimination from aqueous solutions. Using a mixture design, the catalyst composition was optimized to 13.6% sucrose, 50% Mg (OH)2, 25% NaF, and 11.

Brazil, one of the world's largest agricultural producers and consumers of pesticides, has expanded its agricultural area in the southern region of Mato Grosso do Sul, intensifying environmental contamination and increasing the vulnerability of indigenous populations. This research assessed the presence of pesticides in the waters of two indigenous communities in MS, Retomada Guyraroká and Aldeia Jaguapiru. Between 2021 and 2022, three sampling campaigns of surface, supply, and rainwater were conducted, considering the agricultural calendar.

Sugarcane is a major industrial crop highly susceptible to parasitic weed (Striga spp.), causing a 38% reduction in cane yield due to a longer lag phase of 20-40 days, and wider spacing. Herbicides with a longer retention and slow-release nature could allow Striga seeds to germinate and be killed before attaching to the host.
