🧵2/🧴 Researchers suggest that the #glyphosate breakdown product AMPA detected in European #rivers may be coming more from aminopolyphosphonates, than the #herbicide. Aminopolyphosphonatesused are used in #laundry detergents in #Europe but not in the USA🧺🧼

🧵1/ 🚨 New research reveals that #glyphosate in European rivers may come mainly from #wastewater, not #herbicide use. They reviewed the evidence and found that unlike in the US, #European glyphosate patterns in #rivers don't align with bad weather flushing them off fields ⛈️🤔
