Glyphosate Use, Toxicity and Occurrence in Food

Glyphosate is a systemic, broad-spectrum and post-emergent herbicide. The use of glyphosate has grown in the last decades, and it is currently the most used herbicide worldwide. The rise of glyphosate consumption over the years also brought an increased concern about its possible toxicity and conseq...

The rise of glyphosate consumption over the years also brought an increased concern about its possible toxicity and consequences for human health.
