Glyphosate (Ref: MON 0573) |
Last updated: 21/08/2024 |
(Also known as: glyphosate acid; sulfosate; 2-[(phosphonomethyl)amino]acetic acid; CP 67573) |
SUMMARY |
Glyphosate is a non-selective common and effective herbicide. It is highly soluble in water, relatively volatile and does not normally leach to groundwater. It is not persistent in soils but may be in aquatic systems under certain conditions. It is moderately toxic to humans and a skin and eye irritant. It is moderately toxic to birds, most aquatic organisms, earthworms and honeybees. |
Data alerts |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
