Abstract

Herbicidi na bazi glifosata globalno su najčešće korišteni herbicidi za suzbijanje korova.
Korištenje započinje u 1970-ima sa sve većom uporabom tokom godina. Učinkovito je
sredstvo protiv korova, ali uslijed činjenice da uništava i ne ciljane biljke, u početku je
njegova uporaba bila ograničena i regulirana. Nakon mnogo godina ekstenzivne
uporabe započela je rasprava o mogućoj toksičnosti i kancerogenosti. Daljnja
istraživanja su dokazala da je česta uporaba herbicida tokom godina dovela do globalne
kontaminacije i onečišćenja koja utječu na tlo, vodu i atmosferu, a samim time i na floru
i faunu uključujući i ljude na način da se kontaminacija proširila na hranu i često
korištene predmete poput pelena, medicinskih gaza,itd.. Europska unija je ograničila
upotrebu glifosata od 15. prosinca 2022. godine.

Abstract (english)

Glyphosate-based herbicide products are the most extensively used herbicides for weed
control. The use of glyphosate started in the 1970s and it increased over time. It is an
effective weed killer but since it also destroys non-target crops, it was initially
restricted and regulated. After years of an extensive usage, their possible toxicity and
carcinogenicity sparked off a debate. Further research has proved that massive use of
the herbicide over time has created a global contamination and pollution that affected
the soil, surface and water as well as the atmosphere, where it affects flora and fauna as
well as humans because the contamination has spread to food and commonly used
objects, such as diapers, medical gauze, etc. The European Union has restricted the use
of glyphosate on December 15, 2022.
