Glyphosate residues in Alberta's atmospheric deposition, soils and surface waters

Description

Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide used for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. Registered for use in Canada in 1974, it is currently registered and used in over 125 countries. With annual sales in Alberta (1998) exceeding 2.6 million kg of active ingredient, it is by far the most commonly used pesticide in the province. Long considered by scientists and farmers around the world as an effective and environmentally friendly herbicide, recent studies have shown some persistence and mobility in the environment.
