“…Stability of triazines and their degradation products has attracted scientific attention because these compounds are present in environment after over 10 years after the withdrawal from the use (Garbin et al 2007; Prosen et al 2007; Hutta et al 2011; Li et al 2012). This is the consequence of the long-term transfer of residues from agricultural areas where these herbicides were previously used.…”

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.

“…For ROS scavenging, antioxidant defence system is utilized by plants. Thus, analysis of level of antioxidants can be used as indirect method to assess herbicide-induced oxidative stress (Li et al 2012 Investigations regarding stress response in V. mungo induced by herbicide are very few and to the best of our knowledge there was also no report on antioxidative defence system in black gram caused by glyphosate herbicide. Varieties under study are widely used in North India, especially in Uttar Pradesh where glyphosate is used on large scale to eradicate weed populations.…”

In vitro response of seedlings of six genotypes of Vigna mungo L. Hepper to herbicide stress, induced by glyphosate was assessed by evaluating its effect on morphological parameters viz. germination percentage, survival percentage, shoot length, root length, fresh weight, as well as on biochemical parameters such as activity of antioxidative enzymes (catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase), total protein and proline content along with MDA content. Findings indicate that herbicide treatment promotes significant and dose-dependent decrease in all morphological parameters and increase in activity of antioxidative enzymes in all the genotypes. Herbicide treatment promotes significant decrease in total protein content and increase in proline content. Significant variation for MDA content among genotypes was not observed. On the basis of results of present investigation, it was concluded that Vigna mungo genotypes tolerant to the herbicide stress can be of considerable practical value for studying the mechanism of herbicide tolerance and for providing genetic resources for the development of herbicide-tolerant cultivars.

“…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.
