Abstract
Recent revelations on ground water contamination by pesticides have caused public concern and emotion about the quality of drinking water, which have led to renewed pesticide monitoring and research and the call for stricter health advisories and water quality standards. The toxicological significance to humans and domestic, wild, and aquatic animals of such high use compounds as alachlor and atrazine is receiving close examination.Keywords
