The article reports on a study that was conducted to monitor the occurrence of some herbicides found in groundwater in the U.S. in selected wells in Hawaii. These include alachlor, bromacil, dacthal, hexazinone, metolachlor, metribuzin, atrazine, ametryn and simazine and their degradates. Results of the study revealed that the triazine herbicides and their degradates were primarily detected in wells located in old sugarcane fields as previously reported. Bromacil and hexazinone were detected in wells in sugarcane fields and in the areas of storage facility.
