Atrazine is a widely used herbicide primarily for controlling weeds in crops like corn and sugarcane. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants, effectively preventing their growth. Atrazine is one of the most common herbicides in the United States and is applied to millions of acres of farmland each year. Despite its effectiveness, Atrazine has raised environmental and health concerns. Studies have suggested potential links to water contamination and adverse effects on aquatic life. Regulatory agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), continuously assess its safety and impact on ecosystems and human health.
