Sonication Effects on Atrazine Dissipation in Vadose Zone Sediment Slurries

Sonication Effects on Atrazine Dissipation in Vadose Zone Sediment Slurries

Herbicide atrazine easily leaches to groundwater, where it is persistent. We studied whether sonication accelerates atrazine dissipation (100 mg·L−1) in vadose zone sediment slurries. Sediments were from 11.3 to 14.6 m depths in an atrazine-contaminated groundwater area. The slurries and autoclave-s...
