Formation, Adsorption, And Degradation Of N-Nitrosoatrazine In Water And Soil, Hsin-Ro Wei
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The products of xenobiotic reactions in environmental mammalian systems may pose risks equal to or greater than parent compounds. Products of concern include nitrosamines, which can be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. Nitrosamines may form in soil, lake water, and sewage; they also can form in agricultural soils treated with agrichemicals containing amine moieties and nitrogen fertilizer. The nitrosamine-forming reaction of amines with nitrite is promoted at acidic pH. The widely used herbicide atrazine has secondary amine groups that can react with nitrite to form N-nitrosoatrazine (NNAT). The primary objective of this research was to characterize the formation, stability, and …
