Triazines are a group of compounds used as selective pre-emergence herbicides in different types of crops, such as corn, soybean, as well as orchards and vineyards. Due to their large use in the agricultural sector triazines have been detected in different types of food matrices. In the present study, the triazines content in different honey samples collected directly from private producers in various countryside areas from Romania is evaluated. The clean-up and extraction procedure was carried out by solid phase extraction and further analysis and quantification undertaken with high performance liquid chromatography. In the analyzed samples, the presence of triazine herbicides was detected. Their concentrations ranged between 4.97 and 997.5 mu g/kg honey, exceeding in almost all analyzed samples the EU MRLs requirements for triazines in honey.
