      abstract     = {Until its prohibition in Germany in 1991, atrazine was the
                      most frequently applied herbicide in maize cultivation.
                      Moreover, it was used in orchards and vineyards and as a
                      total herbicide on non-cultivated grounds (railways, factory
                      grounds). Later on, atrazine was substituted mainly by
                      terbutylazine. Terbutylazine and terbutryn are the only
                      s-triazines presently permitted in Germany. Nevertheless,
                      atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine are by far the
                      most abundant herbicides detected in near surface
                      groundwater. This might be due to wash-outs from the pools
                      of atrazine and its metabolites from the soil into the
                      groundwater or continuing illegal applications. Samples
                      taken from maize fields in 1994 showed that $6.2\%$ of 471
                      fields tested were treated with atrazine despite the
                      prohibition of its use. Nevertheless, the overall trend is
                      in fact a slow decrease in atrazine concentrations where it
                      is detected in groundwater and, simultaneously often a
                      slight increase in desethylatrazine concentrations. But this
                      is not the case for all sampling points, and increasing
                      concentrations in several aquifers are observed as well.
                      Factors governing the adsorption, degradation, persistence
                      and the possible transfer into the aquifer and the current
                      situation concerning atrazine occurrence in German aquifers
                      will be discussed.},
