“…D r a f t Pinto et al (2018) in Portugal, Hanke et al (2008) in Switzerland, Kolpin et al (2004 in the United States, and Primost et al (2017) in Argentina monitored glyphosate and AMPA in groundwater at different spatial scales (from local to national), but they did not find these molecules above the LOD in any samples. Among the studies that monitored glyphosate but not AMPA, no detection of glyphosate was reported by Ramwell et al (2004) in the United Kingdom, de Oliveira et al (2020) and Santos et al (2020) in Brazil, andJing et al (2021) in China. Primost et al (2017), who monitored soil, surface water, and groundwater in a central agricultural district in Mesopotamic Pampas, Argentina, found that despite glyphosate and AMPA not being detected in groundwater, they were ubiquitous in soil samples with very high maximum concentrations (about 8 and 39 mg/kg for glyphosate and AMPA, respectively) and were also detected in 27%-55% of the surface water samples with concentrations of up to 1.8 and 1.9 µg/L for glyphosate and AMPA, respectively.…”

The herbicide glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) has been the most commonly applied herbicide worldwide for the past 40 years. This review aims to present and discuss the state of knowledge concerning groundwater contamination by glyphosate and its metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). A dataset of 48 reports and articles reporting glyphosate and AMPA detection in groundwater worldwide was constructed from published literature. Specific attention was given to the analysis of available studies on glyphosate and AMPA transport in groundwater to investigate groundwater contamination factors. The information presented in this review highlights detectable groundwater contamination in several countries globally, with many cases exceeding European groundwater quality standards. Both agricultural and non-agricultural applications of glyphosate can be significant sources of pollution, and proximity to agricultural fields is a significant risk factor. AMPA has two primary sources, glyphosate and amino polyphosphates, but very little information is available about the origin of AMPA detected in groundwater. Glyphosate and AMPA transport to groundwater can be significant in well-structured soils rich in macropores, where it generally occurs via preferential flow. An inverse relationship was highlighted between the groundwater depth and glyphosate and AMPA occurrence and concentration in groundwater; however, some discrepancies among the studies were identified. Heavy rainfall shortly after glyphosate application poses a high risk of its transport to groundwater. Seasonal trends in glyphosate and AMPA in groundwater, related to application timing, agronomic practices, and weather conditions, were also observed. Finally, risk-management measures are proposed.

“…Soil environmental pollution results in the contamination of intricate systems, thereby affecting both the ecosystem and the surrounding populace. Oliveira et al [] examined the physicochemical characteristics of water samples collected in the Japaratuba River Basin, the second largest onshore oil field in Brazil, revealing contamination by hydrocarbons and ions in surface and groundwater [ 5 ]. The main challenges in Brazilian onshore oil-producing areas arise from pipeline leaks, from wells to processing and distribution facilities, often from produced water [ 6 ].…”
