Metazachlor (MTZ), chemical purity 99.7%; terbuthylazine (TER), chemical purity 99.4%; and thiacloprid (TCL), chemical purity 99.9%, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (USA). Chemicals were dissolved in dechlorinated tap water to obtain 20 μg/L, 4 μg/L, and 6 μg/L for MTZ, TER, and TCL, respectively. Actual concentrations of chemicals in water during the experiments were within 96% of the nominal concentrations (Table 2). The analyses of pesticides in water were performed by the State Research Institute in Prague using methods described by Anastassiades et al. (2003 (link)) and Anastassiades et al. (2007 ).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
