It is important to optimize extraction, clean-up and determination of
weathered pesticide residues in order to predict their fate in the uns
aturated soil zone. A method including hot extraction with acetone, cl
ean-up with solid-phase extraction (cation exchanger) and HPLC-diode-a
rray detection for atrazine and terbuthylazine and their chlorinated a
nd hydroxylated metabolites at relatively low levels, less than 5 mug
per kg of soil, is presented.
