Recent Progress of Methods for Inspection of Atrazine in Environmental Samples

The progress of methods for inspection of atrazine in environmental samples in the years from 2011 to 2015 was reviewed, including methods of separation such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, liquid-phase microextraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction, and analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and biological methods, as well as the applications of these methods. Prospects on the development of analytical methods for atrazine were also given (46 ref. cited).
