Abstract:This study investigates the longitudinal and temporal
trends of
atrazine, a persistent herbicide, in the Mae Sa catchment in northern

to regulatory limits, the observed atrazine concentrations in Mae
Sa were generally below environmental thresholds of concern. However,
greater risk may occur in other trib… Show more
