Syngenta, makers of the popular herbicide Atrazine, has agreed to a settlement to the lawsuit brought by water systems over purported water quality impacts of Atrazine. The settlement does not change the regulatory status of atrazine or modify its current labeled uses. Under the terms of the settlement, any water system that has detected atrazine in its raw or finished water in the past or up to 90 days after the date of preliminary approval of the settlement is entitled to share with the plaintiffs' attorneys in a $105 million fund.
