Details of intended non-agricultural uses

Environmental fate following non-agricultural uses

Glyphosate is used extensively for weed control in agriculture. However, there are many approved uses in non-agricultural situations and special consideration needs to be given to environmental impact under these circumstances. Information on glyphosate environmental fate following non-agricultural use has been collected together from various sources on this web site, covering a variety of applications (Helweg) and railways (Torstensson, Schmidt). This summary provides an overview. read more
