Toxic Effects

Acute Toxicity

The effects from a one-time exposure to glyphosate-containing products appear to be mostly from co-formulants included in the distributed product, such as polyethoxylated amine (POEA). Short-term exposure is not thought to be nearly as harmful as long-term, but if sufficient amounts are involved, the effects may include:

Chronic Exposure

Symptoms of long-term exposure to glyphosate include:

There are probably other effects as well, but they are difficult to study and there is not much motivation for such investigations. These effects may be due to the death and depletion of normal intestinal bacteria, direct effect of accumulation of glyphosate in the body, or a combination of the two.
