Studies of the metabolism of triazine herbicides by mammals are few. In 
tests with a related triazine, cyanuric acid was excreted in the urine of 
mice fed triethylenimino-s-triazine (1066). In other studies, a labeled 
triazine analog was administered to male Swiss albino rats. Analysis of 
plasma and urine by paper chromatography showed that only the 6-hydroxy 
derivative was formed (28). 
Adsorption of simazine and atrazine by soil fit the Freundlich 
equation a=kc2, wherein 
a = amount solute adsorbed 
c = conc. of solution 
k = constants for the 
n = adsorbent and adsorbate 
(1390).
