Toxicology
- The mechanism of toxicity of glyphosate in mammals is unknown, but may be the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation (Beswick and Millo, 2011).
- Mechanisms of toxicity of glyphosate formulations are complicated because it results from not only the active ingredient glyphosate but also the type and concentration of surfactants, nature of the salt of glyphosate, and other excipients in the formulations, including biocides, inorganic ions, and colouring agents (Bradberry et al 2004). One study ranked the toxicity order of the various ingredients in glyphosate formulation: POEA >glyphosate acid>glyphosate isopropylamine (IPA) salt (Tsui and . . .
