Effects of Glyphosate and Its Metabolite AMPA on Aquatic Organisms
Applied Sciences, 2021 Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) was developed in the early 1970s and at present is used as a herbicide to kill broadleaf weeds and grass. The widely occurring degradation product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is a result of glyphosate and ...

Microplastics in wild mussels (Mytilus spp.) from the north coast of Spain
Scientia Marina, 2019 Microplastic content (MPs) in mussels (Mytilus spp.) from two areas of the north coast of Spain was measured for the first time. Additionally, a comparison of microplastic levels observed in mussels digested with nitric acid and with potassium hydroxide ...
