A new multi-residue method using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry electron ionization selective ion monitoring mode (SIM) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of eight 1,3,5-triazine herbicides such as 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine), ametryn, prometryn, propazine, terbuthylazine, terbutryn, and simazine simetryn in water soil samples. Quantification is done lindane (...

The present study evaluates the removal capacity of microalgae photobioreactors environmental pollutants in wastewater from dry riverbed El Albujón, as a way to minimize eutrophication process Mar Menor. Particularly, four autochthonous consortia collected different locations salty lagoon remove emerging contaminants (simazine, atrazine, terbuthylazine, adenosine and ibuprofen), nitrates, phosp...

In the present paper a new potentiometric biosensor for terbuthylazine (TBA, a herbicide widely utilized in agriculture) suitable for this determination in water samples is shown. As previously described, monoclonal antibody (mAb) showing high specificity for the analyte was utilized as biological element to perform the biosensor assay. A light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), measurin...

Computer models to simulate pesticide transport in the unsaturated zone will be an important management tool in coming years. However, not many efforts were directed to validate the usefulness of such models. In this study, the simulation models GLEAMS, PRZM, and LEACHM were validated. The three models use different mathematical concepts to compute one-dimensional flow and transport in a homoge...
