- Abstract
The article discusses the study regarding the effect of Magnacide H herbicide residuals on water quality within wildlife refuges of the Klamath Basic in California. According to sources, Magnacide H, which is used in agricultural canals as an injectable aquatic herbicide to control aquatic weeds, contains acrolein that has a reactive double bond and an aldehyde grouping. It has been known that acrolein is highly toxic to aquatic life, since it represents a potential for water quality concern near waterbodies where used. Thus, researchers demonstrated that using Magnacide H will not result in the introduction of acrolein, when applied under the conditions of the study as an aquatic herbicide in agricultural canals.
