I am currently writing a review on the impact of glyphosate in the environment. I will focusing primarily on microbial communities, but all feedback is appreciated.
Besides the label and various publications, you may check with US Forest Service on their use, and they have some project level and planning level documents on uses of pesticides and their effects in EIS or EAs. Glyphosate is one of the vegetation treatments used, and various types of applications. From past analyses, I remember glypgosate adheres quickly to soils, reducing its mobility. There is much information and many uses to consider.
The glyphosate invented by the company Monsanto, sold under the famous name Roundup. The current state of scientific knowledge on the toxicology and eco-toxicology of Roundup currently lacks transparency and unification of research. Indeed, possible effects on human health and the biosphere are highlighted in public opinion, but these remarks often lack scientific support for verified or rejected. The first people affected by the Roundup side effects are the users. Sometimes, precautions for use are not applied. Failure to wear personal protective equipment may result, for example, in skin irritation dermatitis, eye irritation and severe eye damage. After use, Roundup is more particularly glyphosate found in water and can cause allergic contact dermatitis even when present only 1% in water. Studies have shown that Roundup does not cause "minimal inconvenience" and contact when personal protective equipment is not properly worn. It can have an influence on people living in the vicinity of spreading, or having any contact with treated products such as fruit pickers. Roundup would have adverse effects on mitosis or cell division. Since Roundup leads to cell division problems even in minute quantities, it is not surprising that a study questioned Roundup in the face of a 100% increase in late spontaneous abortions. Moreover, studies (epidemiology study of North Carolina and Iowa in the United States) highlight the connection between the increase in cancers of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer of the immune system) in the agricultural population and the use of Roundup. Roundup carries health risks for humans. However, Roundup's interactions with living organisms are not only about humans but also about all living beings: fauna and flora. The interactions between the living world and the Roundup are multiple and their impacts numerous, they can be of direct or indirect nature. The cellular mechanisms of man and other living beings are substantially identical. So it seems logical to think that if the Roundup has harmful effects on the human being, it also has on the fauna and the flora. The use of Roundup also has undesirable effects on wildlife after its use, because as this product destroys the flora present, it modifies and destroys the living environment or food reservoir of all fauna that has no other choice to migrate, adapt or die.
The district Ituzaingó is located in the southeast of the city of Cordoba, Argentina, in the urban periphery. This neighborhood is adjacent to two private property fields, soybean plantations for the most part. Fumigations of these plantations are carried out on land as well as by air, which causes a large dispersion of herbicides towards the population of this district. Analyzes showed that the water in the neighborhood was polluted so the government provided water tanks to the inhabitants, but not covered, these tanks also became contaminated because of aerial fumigations. Another very interesting case is the fumigations by the Colombian government on the border between Colombia and Ecuador. In 2006, the administration of Alvaro Uribe decided to resume fumigation in the southern region of the country to stop the cultivation of coca leaf. Three weeks after this resumption of fumigation, the Ecuadorian peasants who live on this border have filed a complaint against the Colombian government. They argued for the indiscriminate destruction of their plantations and health problems due to fumigated glyphosate "in Colombia". Apparently, this product has spread because of the wind and it has touched the territory Ecuadorian.
