Pesticides are the substances designed for destroying, preventing and controlling of pests and protection of plants. Their wide usage in agriculture causes contamination of ground, surface and drinking water, because wastewater treatment plants are not able to remove them. Mostly used pesticides are triazine based pesticides. However their usage is worldwide reduced because of their negative influences on human health and contamination of environment especially with their metabolites, about their toxicity are no information. A method for determination of triazine pesticides atrazine, cyanazine, propazine, simazine, terbuthylazine and their metabolites hydroxytrazine, desethylatrazine, desisopropylatrazine, hydroxyterbuthylazine a desethylterbuthylazine was developed and validated in this diploma work. The determination was realized by LC-MS/MS with electrospray ionization. LOD ranged between 0.5-3.2 pg/ml and LOQ between 1.5-9.6 pg/ml. A test of stability of the maternal substances of these pesticides was performed, in which temperature was found to have the biggest influence on their degradation. A monitoring of the presence of triazine pesticides and their metabolites in water was carried out in Czech Republic. Low concentrations of the maternal substances in surface water and ground water were...
