Abstract
During a measuring campaign in springtime 1991 (NUAC '91) cloud and rainwater was collected from airmasses of atlantic origin at the west side of the Vosges. Atrazine analysis of the samples using an ELISA showed atrazine concentrations in cloudwater between 24 and 260 ng/l and in rainwater between 9 and 137 ng/l. The origin of the atrazine was probably the farmland between Paris and the Vosges where intensive maize cultivation is done.
