Atrazine is considered a potential contaminant of water bodies, where it has been repeatedly detected. Its use in Italy is almost limited to the Northern part of the country where corn monocultures are common. Northern Italy is characterized by the presence of an area with soil quite permeable and where ground waters are often present at not very deep levels. In this area well waters, which represent the main source of drinking water, have been frequently found contaminated by atrazine. A program has been started aimed at studying the role of soil nature and local factors in the process of groundwater contamination. Two atrazine application rates were used at two sites with loamy and loamy-sandy soils. Results clearly show a different mobility of atrazine in the two soil types. Since the two sites have similar organic carbon levels, the major proportion of clay to sand and the lower pH of loamy soil may explain the lower vertical mobility of atrazine in this soil. Work is in progress to study atrazine behaviour to a soil depth of 30cm and the effect of repeated atrazine applications on ground water pollution. |
