“…Herbicides, attributed to their low price and high efficacy in weed control, , have been extensively used to improve the agricultural productivity in the world, but the abuse of herbicides incurs growing safety hazard to the environment and human health. For instance, atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-strazine, ATZ), one of the most widely used triazine herbicide, is a selective pre-emergence or postemergence herbicide that is used to control broadleaf weeds and some gramineous weeds by inhibiting photocooperation in susceptible plants. , It has been considered to be a persistent pollutant in farmland soil, mature agricultural products, and groundwater due to its widespread application, long half-life, poor biodegradability, and apparent mobility . Studies have shown that ATZ is potentially toxic to the growth, development, reproduction, and immunity of organisms .…”
