Abstract
ABSTRACT Glyphosate, known by the trademark Roundup®, is the most popular herbicide today and is used for weed control on agricultural fields and city streets. The exposure of human beings to glyphosate, even when they do not manipulate this chemical, is very widespread. Several studies have shown that this compound is now present in common foods, water, and in the urine of a large part of the population. Results of several assessments point to glyphosate as a carcinogenic substance for human beings, but the chemical industry argues that this substance is innocuous and very useful, even indispensable, in crop protection. This paper considers the contradictory reports, uncertainty, public disquiet, and legal dimension.
