Abstract
Atrazine is a pesticide used to control broadleaf weeds, however its wide distribution and its high persistence in the soil and in surface waters has resulted in a public and environmental health problem. Present results shows the design, construction and characterization of glassy carbon electrodes modified with tetrarutenated metalloporphyrin (M=Ni (II) and Zn (II)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, BMIMNTF2. The modification was reproducible and sensitive for the electrochemical detection of atrazine in neutral media. The detection limit was 230 nM when using GC/BMIMNTF2/ZnTRP and 540 nM with GC/BMIMNTF2/NiTRP, meaning that his methodology can be a feasible and inexpensive way to detect atrazine in trace levels.
