Abstract

The growth of productivity and cultivated área of sugarcane across the country have been followed by an strong application of herbicides, which expresses the most found products on water resources of the world. Aim at the solution of possible matters related to the contamination with these microcontaminants, this work intends to assess the efficiency on atrazine, hexazinone and tebuthiuron herbicides clearance in water through the Slow Filtration Technique in Multiple Steps over insertion of activated charcoal, as well to assess the toxicity by remaining substances test organisms found on effluents of treatment system.
