atrazine environmental effects
Toxicological Effects: 1  Acute toxicity: Atrazine is slightly to moderately toxic to humans and other animals. 2  Chronic toxicity: Some 40% of rats receiving oral doses of 20 mg/kg/day for 6 months died with signs of respiratory distress and paralysis of the limbs.
Effects on aquatic organisms: Atrazine is slightly toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Atrazine has a low level of bioaccumulation in fish. In whitefish, atrazine accumulates in the brain, gall bladder, liver, and gut [16]. Effects on other organisms: Atrazine is not toxic to bees [16].
