Glyphosate and AMPA, "pseudo-persistent" pollutants under real-world agricultural management practices in the Mesopotamic Pampas agroecosystem, Argentina.

TLDR
Glyphosate and AMPA should be considered "pseudo-persistent" pollutants and a revisions of management procedures, monitoring programs, and ecological risk for soil and sediments should be also recommended.

Distribution of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in Agricultural topsoils of the European Union

TL;DR: The estimated exports clearly indicate that particulate transport can contribute to human and environmental exposure to herbicide residues and Residue threshold values in soils are urgently needed to define potential risks for soil health and off site effects related to export by wind and water erosion.

Glyphosate and atrazine in rainfall and soils in agroproductive areas of the pampas region in Argentina

TL;DR: The estimated annual deposition of GLP by rainfall indicated that more than onc source of a herbicide can lead to its presence in the atmosphere and points out the relevance of rainfall's contribution to the surface levels of a pollutant.

Controversies over human health and ecological impacts of glyphosate: Is it to be banned in modern agriculture?

TL;DR: In the authors' opinion, glyphosate can be judiciously used in agriculture with the inclusion of safer surfactants in commercial formulations sine POEA, which is toxic by itself is likely to increase the toxicity of glyphosate.

Occurrence and levels of glyphosate and AMPA in shallow lakes from the Pampean and Patagonian regions of Argentina.

TL;DR: This is the first study reporting the occurrence and concentrations of the herbicide in freshwater lakes of Argentina and glyphosate residues were detected more frequently in sediment and surface water than in SPM samples.
