The report identified five hotspots with some of the highest levels of atrazine contamination: #Chesapeake Bay, Midwest Corn Belt, Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, lower #Mississippi River, and #Texas Gulf Coast.
Millions of people are served atrazine-contaminated water by their public water utility.

#Atrazine is banned in 60 countries, but it's the second-most used #herbicide in the U.S.
It's highly toxic to wildlife, poisoning habitat for aquatic plants and animals — as well as drinking water.
