Guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality : guideline technical document - metribuzin.: H144-13/19-2021E-PDF

"Metribuzin is a pre- and post-emergent herbicide used to control broadleef weeds and grasses in agriculture. In 2018, the most recent year for which data are available, more than 100 000 kg of metribuzin (as an active ingredient) was sold in Canada. Metribuzin is released into the environment as surface runoff following agricultural spraying (particularly within two weeks of soil application), as tile drain effluent, from accidental discharge or as spray drift. It has the potential to leach into groundwater or move into surface water"--Executive summary, page 3.
