| Summary: | The widespread use of Glyphosate has permeated not only small and large scale agriculture, but also the fight against drug trafficking and illicit crops. Health, alimentary security and peasant and indigenous communitles' rights have been compromised in countries with intensive use of glyphosate-based herbicides. In 2015 International Agency for Research on Cancer classified this substance as probably carcinogentc to humans leading to the suspension ofthe spread of aerial glyphosate the same year in countries like Colombia, where glyphosate is extensively used in illiclt crop eradication. Notwithstanding, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study: traces of glyphosate and its main degradation product remain in soil year añer year. This underscores the urgency and importance of assessing new technologies to degrade remaining glyphosate in soils and water corps without leaving persistent sub-products... |
