Pesticides are a growing concern around the world as they are widely increasing in use and not as highly regulated as some health and environmental hazards. As agricultural, home, and other pesticide applications continue to rise, the need for analytical testing and removal of these pesticides from our rivers, streams, and other runoffs is becoming more and more significant. Glyphosate, an active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, is an amine compound that has a maximum contamination level of 700 ppb. This work studied the use of water soluble Iron (II) tetrasolfophthalocyanine in amine detection that could be further applied to glyphosate. Also included in this study is a glimpse of removal possibilities combining phthalocyanines with traditional adsorption media for enhanced extraction and capacity.
