These triazines either are forbidden or have a maximum allowable limit due to their potential toxicity.The experimental verification of the selected parameters showed that the experimental results were significantly equal to those predicted. Besides, the validation of the developed method allowed concluding that accuracy was fulfilled for the eight triazines and there was not bias. With a probability of false positive equal to 0.05, CCβ was less than 3 µg L−1 for every triazine, except for simazine and terbutryn, which was less than 6 µg L−1 being the probability of false negative less than 10-6.No triazine was found, above their maximum allowable concentration, in any of the samples of surface water picked at fifteen different locations, mostly from streams and the Arlanzón river, near Burgos (Spain).
