Concerning the question about ATRAZINE and how it affects photosynthesis..
ATRAZINE is a carbon based compound found inherbicides and some pesticides
(for ants and some slugs). Obviously, as an herbicide to kill unwanted
plants and vegetation, it disrupts the photosynthetic cycle of a plant,
resulting in eventual death.
If you go to the web and search for ATRAZINE, many sites are revealed that
can further discourse beyond my immediate knowledge. I do know that there
are groundwater issues revolving aroung this chemical as a major pollutant.
This was a good question and I hope the lead proves interesting.
