General Comments

The DGVs for simazine are expressed in terms of the concentration of the active ingredient (simazine) and relate to dissolved simazine only, and not any of its formulations or breakdown products. They supersede the ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) trigger values for simazine in freshwater.

These DGVs and the information in the corresponding DGVs technical brief for this toxicant should be used in accordance with the detailed guidance provided on the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality website.
