Article Synopsis
- Glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide globally, but its analysis is complicated due to its small and polar nature; a new LC-HRMS/MS method was created to effectively detect it in the gastric content of Iberian hares.
- The validation of this method showed high accuracy and precision, with glyphosate levels in hare samples from pesticide-treated areas found to be between 9-22%, and even 45% in animals that died in the wild.
- This research offers a reliable way to assess glyphosate exposure in wildlife, highlighting the presence of the pesticide in areas where it is used and ensuring safer ecological practices.
