The behavior of triazines upon -irradiation from a60Co source has been studied. The triazines selected were: atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], ametryne [2-ethylamino-4-(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine] and simazine [2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine]. The irradiation doses varied from 5.0 to 640.0 kGy, with a dose rate of 3 kGy h–1. Following irradiation, the samples were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization (FID) detection. The triazines remained stable after the irradiation process.
