Abstract

S-triazine herbicide prometryn is commonly applied to eradicate gramineae grasses and broad-leaf weeds in agriculture and illegally as an environmental improver to remove harmful algae and aquatic weeds in aquaculture industry. It as a suspected endocrine disruptor is stable in environment, difficult to be degraded and harmful to human through food chain. This paper reviews the degradation and metabolic pathways of prometryn, the structure and distribution of metabolic degradation products in environment, animals and plants, and the effects of prometryn on endocrine and immune functions, and the evaluation methods for human health and ecological environment safety. The extensive uses of prometryn result in a variety of metabolic degradation products with varied structures. The potential toxicity caused by long-term exposure to prometryn and various metabolites and the decline of ecological community population in environment will be the focus of our attention in the future.

Key words
