Abstract
There are three main technical options available for the removal of atrazine and its related compounds (e.g. simazine, bentazone, etc.) from groundwaters; these are:
-
(a)
Adsorption onto activated carbon;
-
(b)
Chemical oxidation (e.g. with ozone);
-
(c)
Filtration through membranes (e.g. reverse osmosis).
