Abstract

The transportation pathways of triazines were investigatedfrom their origins onwards, in the Marne and the Seine rivers(France). According to the 1991 survey, the highest total triazine concentration levels (956 ng L-1) were found in the river Marne: 580 ng L-1 for atrazine and 200 ng L-1 for simazine, in relation with agricultural practices.The total triazine levels reached 829 ng L-1 in the riverSeine. The other triazines remained low, from 5 to 75 ng L-1. The triazine fluxes were 226 and 404 kg for a 118 d period in the Marne and the Seine rivers, respectively. Out of the treatment period, triazine peaks were related to riverflows with a 48 hr delay between the peak and the top of theflood. After herbicide treatment, peak concentrations wereclosely related with the precipitations. Concerning theriver Marne tributaries, highest atrazine concentrationswere found in June, in those which drained the vineyardarea. In January, the concentrations were higher inperiurban areas underlining their contribution to theherbicide inputs in the rivers. On the whole, the ratio oftriazines transported in the two rivers represented 0.2%of the total amount applicated annually on their catchment basins.
