Relevance of urban glyphosate use for surface water quality.
TLDR
Comparisons of the agricultural application and the seasonal concentration and load pattern in the main creek from March to November revealed that the occurrence of glyphosate cannot be explained by agricultural use only and more than half of the load during selected rain events originates from urban areas.About:

Environmental and health effects of the herbicide glyphosate.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the selection pressure for glyphosate-resistance in bacteria could lead to shifts in microbiome composition and increases in antibiotic resistance to clinically important antimicrobial agents, which would have an impact on plant, animal and human health.

Glyphosate and Its Degradation Product AMPA Occur Frequently and Widely in U.S. Soils, Surface Water, Groundwater, and Precipitation†
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive assessment of the environmental occurrence of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in the United States conducted to date, summarizing the results of 3,732 water and sediment and 1,018 quality assurance samples collected between 2001 and 2010 from 38 states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of glyphosate and glyphosate‐based herbicides on the freshwater environment
TL;DR: This review is designed to update previous reviews of glyphosate‐based herbicide toxicity, with a focus on recent studies of the aquatic toxicity of this class of chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate and transport of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid in surface waters of agricultural basins.
TL;DR: Glyphosate use in a watershed results in some occurrence in surface water; however, the watersheds most at risk for the offsite transport of glyphosate are those with high application rates, rainfall that results in overland runoff and a flow route that does not include transport through the soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in glyphosate biodegradation
TL;DR: The aims of this review are to summarize the microbial degradation of glyphosate and discuss the potential of glyphosate-degrading microorganisms to bioremediate glyphosate-contaminated environments, and provide an instructive direction to apply glyphosate- degradation microorganisms in the environment for bioremediation.

Why glyphosate is a global herbicide: strengths, weaknesses and prospects
TL;DR: Glyphosate is an exceedingly effective herbicide and presents a considerable challenge to the development of new herbicides for sustainable cropping systems and situations in which cost-effective and environmentally considerate weed control is required.

Significance of urban and agricultural land use for biocide and pesticide dynamics in surface waters
Irene Wittmer,Heinz Bader,Ruth Scheidegger,Heinz Singer,Alfred Lück,Irene Hanke,C. Carlsson,Christian Stamm +7 more
TL;DR: It can be safely concluded that in catchments of mixed land use, the contributions of biocide and pesticide inputs into surface waters from urban areas are at least as important as those from agricultural areas.

Urban contributions of glyphosate and its degradate AMPA to streams in the United States.
Dana W. Kolpin,E. Michael Thurman,Edward A. Lee,Michael T. Meyer,Edward T. Furlong,Susan T. Glassmeyer +5 more
TL;DR: Urban use of glyphosate contributes to glyphosate and AMPA concentrations in streams in the United States, with roughly a two-fold increase in their frequencies of detection between stream samples collected upstream and those collected downstream of the WWTPs.

TL;DR: These measurements revealed that in the catchment of Lake Greifensee, farmers who did not perfectly comply with 'good agricultural practice' caused at least 14% of the measured agricultural herbicide load into surface waters.
