“…Several AATs, such as atrazine, ametryn, and simazine, are utilized as high-production-volume chemicals in agricultural production . AATs are extensively used as antifouling biocides, chemical intermediates, pharmaceuticals, and paint additives, and certain analogues have been detected in various water bodies globally (e.g., surface water, groundwater, seawater, and drinking water), threatening aquatic life and human health. − For instance, prometryn posed site-specific effects on the local algal community in the river Elbe basin in Bitterfeld, Germany, via the mode of action (MoA) of photosynthesis inhibition by targeting photosystem II function. , Multiple toxic effects of AATs on humans are demonstrated, particularly endocrine-disrupting effects, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and organ toxicity. , …”
