  • § 180.213 Simazine; tolerances for residues.

    (a) General. Tolerances are established for the combined residues of the herbicide simazine (2, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in table 1 to this paragraph (a). Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in table 1 to this paragraph (a) is to be determined by measuring only the sum of simazine, 6-chloro-4N,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine) and its two chlorinated degradates (2-amino-4-chloro-6-ethylamino-s-triazine and 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-s-triazine), the total residue to be measured in or on the following food commodities: N′-diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, and its metabolites 6-chloro-N-ethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, and 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of simazine, in or on the commodity.
