The aim of this paper was monitoring the herbicide residues of atrazine and its metabolites, deethylatrazine (DEA) and deisopropylatrazine (DIA) in the groundwater of the region of Mačva (Serbia). The atrazine and metabolites were extracted with methanol through C-18 SP disc and the residue level of the studied compounds was analyzed by GC/MSD. The recovery for atrazine and metabolites was 72-90%. Out of the total number of groundwater samples, residues of atrazine and metabolites were found in 40% of samples. Average values of the atrazine residues 0.009 microgram/cubic dm were determined by the analysis, DEA 0.0084 microgram/cubic dm and DIA 1.692 microgram/cubic dm. The level of the atrazine and metabolites above the EU MRLs (0.1 microgram/cubic dm) was observed only for DIA.
