We evaluated epidemiologic evidence pertaining to the human carcinogenic potential of triazine herbicides in general and of atrazine, the most common triazine. Cancers for which data are available included non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, multiple myeloma, soft tissue sarcoma, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer. The investigations had methodologic limitations, including lack o...

A liquid chromatography method has been developed and validated for the determination of mathematical models for prediction of the lipophilicity of s-triazine compounds. Correlation between retention factors, RM 0 , of several s-triazine derivatives and their physico-chemical and structural properties has been studied by TLC on silica gel impregnated with paraffin oil. The research in this pape...

Vegetated filter strips (VFS) potentially reduce the off-site movement of herbicides from adjacent agricultural fields by increasing herbicide mass infiltrated (Minf) and mass adsorbed (Mas) compared with bare field soil. However, there are conflicting reports in the literature concerning the contribution of Mas to the VFS herbicide trapping efficiency (TE). Moreover, no study has evaluated TE ...

The contamination of the environment by pesticides is becoming a burning issue in many countries World. Development, design, and synthesis new eco-friendly modification existing ones order to improve their efficacy with lowest impact on are two main future possibilities crop protection provision sufficient food for growing world population. present study focused comparative analysis series eigh...
