Summary: The study investigated the effects of different concentrations of glyphosate in Roundup on the hatchability, toxicity, and teratogenic effects of the aquatic crustacean Artemia salina. It was found that concentrations of 144 and 288 μg/ml glyphosate in Roundup inhibited cyst hatchability and were lethal to A. salina nauplii. Additionally, environmentally relevant concentrations of glyphosate (0.72 μg/ml) in Roundup affected the early development of A. salina nauplii and caused decreased body lengths and reduced widths. The study suggests the potential teratogenicity of Roundup even at environmentally safe concentrations of glyphosate.

Summary: This study evaluated and compared the effects of glyphosate and its commercial formulation Roundup on the Hydra viridissima life cycle. It was found that the commercial formulation caused more severe morphological alterations and hindered complete regeneration, while the pure glyphosate showed a high recovery capacity. The commercial formulation also had negative impacts on feeding and reproduction of the hydra. These results suggest that adjuvants in the commercial formulation may increase the toxicity of glyphosate to biota.

Summary: With the decreasing farming lands due to the growing human population, agricultural scientists are developing new strategies for effective crop management. However, the excessive use of herbicides to deal with the loss caused by small plants and herbs has raised concerns about its environmental and health effects. Glyphosate, extensively used for the past 40 years with assumed negligible effects, has now been classified as a carcinogenic toxic component by the World Health Organization and banned in 2017. This review discusses the importance of glyphosate monitoring in the food matrix, its environmental and health effects, and advanced analytical techniques for its detection.

Summary: In South Africa, most food products contain glyphosate below the maximum residue limit, with 70.4% of products showing presence of glyphosate HT events. However, not all products containing glyphosate also had HT events associated with them. This study confirms that South African consumers are exposed to low levels of glyphosate, which has been reported to cause genotoxic effects at the cellular level.

Summary: Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) with double Thr-102-Ile + Pro-106-Ser (TIPS) EPSPS mutations shows high resistance to glyphosate, but also incurs a substantial fitness cost. Soybean competition further increases this fitness cost, resulting in 95%, 95%, and 96% reductions in vegetative growth, seed mass, and seed number, respectively. Glyphosate treatment enhances growth in TIPS plants compared to untreated plants. Conversely, moderate glyphosate resistance mutation P106S shows decreased survival rate, vegetative growth, aboveground biomass (34%), seed mass (48%), and number (52%) when treated with glyphosate alone. However, under the combined effects of soybean competition and field-recommended glyphosate dose, both P106S and TIPS plants have significantly limited vegetative growth, aboveground biomass, seed mass, and number (≤99%).

Summary: Glyphosate in Roundup inhibits the growth of plants and certain microorganisms. Two glyphosate-resistant bacteria were isolated from a Roundup solution, identified as Burkholderia anthina and Burkholderia cenocepacia, which cannot utilize glyphosate as a phosphorus source and produce glyphosate-sensitive EPSP synthases. The adaptation to glyphosate did not significantly increase antibiotic resistance in these bacteria, highlighting the genomic adaptability of Burkholderia species.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides on stallion sperm. The results indicate that the commercial formulation Roundup has a more toxic effect on sperm motility and viability compared to the active molecule glyphosate. The negative impact is likely due to damage to the sperm membrane and mitochondria, as well as redox imbalance. Interestingly, horse sperm appear to be more sensitive to higher concentrations of Roundup compared to other species such as humans and pigs.

Summary: Phosphonate-based herbicides, including glyphosate, glufosinate, and fosamine, can mobilize and be transported in quartz-enriched agricultural soils due to their interactions with calcium and sodium. The mobility of glyphosate was found to be influenced by both the mineral interfaces and the initial wetness of the soil. These findings provide new insights into the soil mobility of phosphonate-based herbicides and highlight the importance of considering soil properties for their effective and sustainable use.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.
