An updated liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of glyphosate in technical material and formulations was tested by 7 laboratories. Samples were dissolved in water and injected into an LC system with a C18 guard column, an anion exchange analytical column, and a phosphate buffer mobile phase with 12 to 15% methanol. Detection was by UV absorption at 195 nm or refractive index. Automated injections were made. Calculations were based on peak area comparisons with external standards. The interlaboratory study analyzed 6 matched pairs of 3 glyphosate technical materials and 3 glyphosate formulations. The matched pair results were analyzed by using the AOAC spreadsheet and Youden's matched pair calculations. Coefficients of variation for the 6 samples ranged from 0.46 to 0.85%.

Introduction: Extensive agricultural activity results in significant exposure to pesticides, particularly glyphosate, which has been linked to immunological disorders, including apoptosis and inflammation. , a species from the Bromeliaceaefamily native to Mexico, is traditionally used in folk medicine for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory effects. This research aimed to evaluate the protective effects of extract on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) exposed to Faena®, a commercially available glyphosate-based herbicide.

The use of pesticides has significantly increased and proliferated following the technological advancements established by the green revolution, aimed at boosting agricultural productivity. The extensive use of man-made chemicals as fertilizer and pesticides has consequently led to large-scale application, which has led to a number of environmental and human health problems. This study has helped to develop a laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensor for the detection of the most widely used herbicide in the world, glyphosate.

Background: Glyphosate, as one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide, has been reclassified as a potential carcinogen and linked to multiple health problems. Recent data from animal experiments have proved its potential cardiovascular toxicity. However, whether glyphosate exposure influences human cardiovascular health at the population levels remains unknown.

The use of glyphosate (Gly) has caused unnecessary economic losses to the aquaculture industry, but research on the effect of Gly on is very limited. The aim of this study is to reduce the negative effects of Gly, reduce yield loss, and improve economic benefits through nutritional feed control technology. The experiment involved 80 crabs randomly divided into four groups: control group, Gly group (48.

Overusing pesticides to increase crop productivity is a global problem that harms ecosystems and can adversely affect human health. Therefore, low-cost, simple, and easy-to-use pesticide biomonitoring methods are needed to assess the impact of these products on the environment. In this study, we employed the root development of soybean (Glycine max (L.
