One of the guiding principles of the sustainable use of herbicides is their targeted action exclusively against weeds, consisting of blocking photosynthesis and synthesis of amino acids and growth regulators. Herbicides are major elements of plant production, indispensable to the functioning of modern agriculture. Nevertheless, their influence on all elements of the natural environment needs to be continuously controlled. This review article summarizes research addressing the effects of herbicides on the natural environment and the changes they trigger therein. Herbicides, applied to protect crops against weed infestation, are usually mixtures of various active substances; hence, it is generally difficult to analyze their impact on the environment and organisms. Nonetheless, an attempt was made in this review to discuss the effects of selected herbicides on individual elements of the natural environment (water, soil, and air) and organisms (humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms). In addition, the article presents examples of the biodegradation of selected herbicides and mechanisms of their degradation by bacteria and fungi. Based on this information, it can be concluded that the uncontrolled use of herbicides has led to adverse effects on non-target organisms, as documented in the scientific literature. However, further research on the environmental effects of these chemicals is needed address the missing knowledge on this subject.
