The widespread use of pesticides in agriculture during the last several decades has contaminated soils and different Critical Zone (CZ) compartments. However, the long-term fate, storage, and transfer dynamics of persistent pesticides in CZ in a changing world remain poorly understood. In the French West Indies, chlordecone (CLD), a toxic organochl...
Le tribunal judiciaire de Foix relaxe, au nom de l’état de nécessité, des militants anti-glyphosate (appartenant aux faucheurs volontaires anti-OGM ariégeois) qui avaient en 2016 badigeonné de peinture des produits herbicides (Roundup) vendus dans des magasins de Foix et Pamiers. L’application de l’article 222-3 du Code pénal, punissant de 5 ans d’...
During all their life stages, bees are exposed to residual concentrations of pesticides, such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, stored in beehive matrices. Fungicides are authorized for use during crop blooms because of their low acute toxicity to honey bees. Thus, a bee that might have been previously exposed to pesticides through conta...

Herbicides are being used in agriculture for controlling noxious weed. Glyphosate is a herbicide that is widely applied to cereal crops in Egypt and is used in controlling a very broad spectrum of weeds. The present study was designed to investigate the response of the snail Bulinus truncatus as a bioindicator for physiological and molecular aspect...
This paper has investigated the electrochemical oxidation of glyphosate herbicide (GH) on RuO(2) and IrO(2) dimensionally stable anode (DSA (R)) electrodes. Electrolysis was achieved under galvanostatic control as a function of pH, GH concentration, supporting electrolyte, and current density. The influence of the oxide composition on GH degradatio...
