Atrazine

Atrazine, we filter that.

ATRAZINE is the common name for an herbicide that is widely used to kill weeds & grass. It is used mostly on farms around the United States. Pure atrazine is an odorless, white powder-is not very volatile, reactive, or flammable. Unfortunately, Atrazine will dissolve in water and that is how it gets into our ground water supply and tap water. Atrazine is made in the laboratory and does not occur naturally.

Atrazine is used on crops such as sugarcane, corn, pineapples, sorghum, and macadamia nuts, and on evergreen tree farms and for evergreen forest regrowth. It has also been used to keep weeds from growing on both highway and railroad rights-of-way. Atrazine can be sprayed on croplands before crops start growing and after they have emerged from the soil. Some of the trade names of atrazine are Aatrex®, Aatram®, Atratol®, and Gesaprim®. The scientific name for atrazine is 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-triazine-2,4-diamine. Atrazine is a Restricted Use Pesticide, which means that only certified herbicide users may purchase or use atrazine. Certification for the use of atrazine is obtained through the appropriate state office where the herbicide user is licensed.
