“…For instance, in the USA, almost 30,000 t of atrazine are applied annually (Hase et al 2008). Because of its intense use, stability and ability to translocate in the environment (Roustan et al 2014;Yixin et al 2014;Nachimuthu et al 2016), atrazine is present in soils and waters worldwide (Hase et al 2008;Merini et al 2009;Feria-Reyes et al 2011;Li et al 2012;Farlin et al 2013;Geng et al 2013;Ji et al 2015;Ouyang et al 2016a). Atrazine is suspected to be an endocrine disruptor and is linked to Parkinson's disease in humans (Filipov et al 2007;Brodeur et al 2009).…”

Purpose In this paper, an attempt was made to explain the long-lasting occurrence of atrazine in soil. Despite the fact that this herbicide has been banned in European Union 10 years ago, it is still detected in the environment. Materials and methods Soil samples (organic and mineral horizon), SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 sorbents were spiked with atrazine. The ultrasound-assisted extraction coupled with gas chromatography-electron capture detector was performed to establish the atrazine recovery depending on the type of soil horizon and sorbent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted to determine the type of interactions between atrazine and sorbents. Results and discussion The atrazine recovery was lower for the mineral horizon (15%) compared to the organic horizon (63%). This finding suggests an interaction between atrazine and the mineral components of soil. Therefore, attempts have been made to explain atrazine's interaction with the main mineral components of soil, SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , and to investigate the influence of pH on atrazine's behaviour in soil. The atrazine recoveries were 86.5 and 10.7% for Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 , respectively. The obtained results demonstrated that the protonated atrazine exhibits stronger interactions with the soil mineral layer (recovery below 0.1%) in comparison to molecular form of atrazine (recovery 86%). FTIR results suggested interactions between atrazine and SiO 2 . FTIR analysis revealed that 1,3,5-azidine ring interacts with SiO 2 molecule. Conclusions In acidic soil, atrazine remediation is limited, especially if the soil contains minerals with high SiO 2 contents. This situation may cause the long-lasting persistence of atrazine in soil.

“…According to our best knowledge, there is a scarce current data concerning the monitoring of ATR in European environment (Price et al 2006; Caquet et al 2013; Farlin et al 2013, Ouyang et al 2016a). The main attention is paid to degradation and transformation of ATR during water treatment processes (Baranda et al 2012; Lekkerkerker-Teunissen et al 2012; Yixin et al 2014; Cheng et al 2016), its toxicity (Roustan et al 2014) or sorption behaviour in soil (Prado et al 2014; Nachimuthu et al 2016; Ouyang et al 2016b).…”

The aim of this study was to monitor the sediment, soil and surface water contamination with selected popular triketone herbicides (mesotrione (MES) and sulcotrione(SUL)), atrazine (ATR) classified as a possible carcinogen and endocrine disrupting chemical, as well as their degradation products, in Silesia (Poland). Seventeen sediment samples, 24 soil samples, and 64 surface water samples collected in 2014 were studied. After solid-liquid extraction (SLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE), analytes were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD). Ten years after the withdrawal from the use, ATR was not detected in any of the collected samples; however, its degradation products are still present in 41 % of sediment, 71 % of soil, and 8 % of surface water samples. SUL was determined in 85 % of soil samples; its degradation product (2-chloro-4-(methylosulfonyl) benzoic acid (CMBA)) was present in 43 % of soil samples. In 17 % of sediment samples, CMBA was detected. Triketones were detected occasionally in surface water samples. The chemometric analysis (clustering analysis (CA), single-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), N-Way ANOVA) was applied to find relations between selected soil and sediment parameters and herbicides concentration. In neither of the studied cases a statistically significant relationship between the concentrations of examined herbicides, their degradation products and soil parameters (organic carbon (OC), pH) was observed.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11356-016-7798-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In comparison with atrazine, TBA is less soluble in water, more hydrophobic, and more resistant to biodegradation in soil. Judging by several studies (4)(5)(6), TBA also seems to dissipate in agricultural soil at a much lower rate than atrazine. By definition, dissipation is a sum of all possible outcomes of the parent herbicide, including volatility, plant absorption, leaching, runoff, and chemical or microbial degradation (transformation) (7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…The mobility of a herbicide (leaching/runoff) or its retention in soil (adsorption) is highly affected by its characteristics (such as hydrophobicity), soil type (pH and humus/clay content), and soil moisture level and temperature (6,8,17). Higher soil temperatures favour herbicide desorption and degradation (18,19).…”

“…Numerous distribution models have been developed to assess herbicide water contamination potential based on standard field scenarios, but to produce accurate assessments, all of them require sufficient data from field dissipation studies in agricultural soil under the most common conditions (6,9,(24)(25)(26). The objective of this field study was therefore to provide these data about the vertical distribution of TBA and DET in the uppermost 50 cm of silty clay loam soil under relatively humid and warm field conditions during a maize growing season.…”

Ever since terbuthylazine (TBA) replaced atrazine in herbicide crop treatment, its much greater persistence has raised considerable environmental concern. The aim of our field experiment was to establish the dissipation dynamics of TBA and its degradation product desethylterbuthylazine (DET) in soil over five months of maize growth. We applied TBA as part of pre-emergent treatment in the regular and double-the-regular amounts. Soil samples were collected periodically at the following depths: 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, and 30-50 cm. For TBA and DET soil residue analysis we used microwave-assisted extraction with methanol, followed by HPLC-UV/DAD. Regardless of the application rate, more than 80 % of the applied TBA dissipated from the first 50 cm of soil in the two months after herbicide application and 120 mm of rainfall. Three months later (at maize harvest), less than 4 % of total TBA remained in the soil, mostly in the top 20 cm rich with organic carbon on which TBA is likelier to adsorb. The loss of TBA from soil coincided with the rise in DET, especially the top soil layers, during the periods of low rainfall and highest soil temperatures. This points to biodegradation as the main route of TBA dissipation in humic soils. The applied amount had no significant effect on TBA dissipation in the top (humic) layers, but in the layers with less than 1 % of organic carbon, it was higher when the doublethe-regular dose was applied.
