The article reviews how atrazine, a common herbicide used in agriculture and found in water, interacts with soil, minerals, and compost. It explores how atrazine binds to different components in the environment, how organic matter affects its retention in soil, how plants can uptake atrazine, and how microbes can break it down. The study aims to understand the fate of atrazine in the environment and assess potential risks. Key findings include the mechanisms of atrazine binding in soils and other sorbents, the impact of organic matter on atrazine sorption, and the transformation of atrazine in composting environments.
