Most of the glyphosate in European rivers may not come from farming, researchers suggest

[Chris F]

A research team at the University of Tübingen has found that most glyphosate that ends up in European rivers likely does not come from herbicides, as previously assumed; instead, it may be the result of additives to detergents.

Until now, the use of glyphosate as a herbicide in agriculture was considered to be the main reason for its presence in bodies of water worldwide. However, European reduction measures have not led to any noticeable reduction in the environment.

Yes interesting. I remember reading that glyphosate was closely related to (discovered when investigating?) detergents, and that's why it cleans your sprayer.

Seem a person spraying their gravel driveway and tiping the rest of the sprayer in the drain

Council spraying footpaths and road verges always made me shudder, where will the run off go... Straight down the nearest drains.

I came on to post this exact article.

So maybe farmers aren't the source of all evil?

If you had it would be the fourth thread currently posted today on the very same subject.

Quite why some people don't read / note what others post I don't know.

"The hypothesis is that certain aminopolyphosphonates used, for example in laundry detergents, are converted to glyphosate in the sewage sludge of wastewater treatment plants."

Wow, I didn't expect that to be the case!

I do apologize, I didn't see a thread title on the list that suggested it had already been posted, or I wouldn't have started this thread.

You are obviously far more thorough than I.

In fact the amount of grief I've had this week for my input on this forum, I don't know why I bother to be honest

Chill out
These things happen
Do you really expect people to do a thorough search of the forum every time before posting something they think interesting or relevant?
A request to the mods to ask them to merge similar threads would suffice

Was just looking for a fault my self to be pedantic but I couldn't find one apart from no full stop

Should there be a comma after people ?

 

[Bury the Trash]

We haven't use the stuff for a few years now funnily enough

 

[Bury the Trash]

When the water board discharges their raw overflow i to the waterways and sea., as they do with a fairly regular frequency, there's all sorts of stuff in it

Yes I should think so .

Should there be a comma after « yes »?
