Measured Atrazine in Streams

Concentrations of atrazine measured in agricultural streams correlated with the distribution of its use on crops—primarily corn—with some of the highest concentrations (shown by red and orange) occurring in the Corn-growing areas of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio.

Full study can be found at the Pesticides National Synthesis Project Website by accessing the USGS Circular 1291 (see Chapter 4).
