Monitorou-se a presença do herbicida Glifosato e do seu metabólito, ácido aminometilfosfônico (AMPA), em amostras de águas coletadas em área orizícola, submetida a plantio direto. Níveis de Glifosato em concentrações acima do limite máximo permitido (7,0 µg/L) pela Agência de Proteção Ambiental dos Estados Unidos (Environmental Protection Agency) foram detectados. A presença do metabólito AMPA, nas águas dos canais de irrigação, foi detectada até 120 dias após a aplicação (DAA). Pode-se dizer que determinado nível de segurança será alcançado nas águas de lançamento da granja para o Arroio Bretanhas, 120 DAA da formulação de Glifosato. Como não foi observada deserção do Glifosato em GLEYSSOLO HÁPLICO Ta Eutrófico pode-se inferir que a concentração do mesmo permaneceu como resíduo ligado. Assim, a dissipação do herbicida nesse solo pode ser reflexo, entre outros fatores, da formação de resíduo ligado, determinando desta forma o seu destino e/ou comportamento no ambiente. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF GLYPHOSATE AND ITS METABOLITE (AMINOMETHYLPHOSPHONIC ACID) IN TILLAGE WATER OF IRRIGABLE RICE Abstract Monitor the presence of the herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in samples of water collected in orizicole area, subject to direct plantation, was the objective of this study. Levels of glyphosate above the maximum permitted concentration limit (7.0 µg/L) were detected by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The presence of the metabolite AMPA in irrigation channel water was detected up to 120 days after application (DAA). It can be deduced that a certain level of safety will be reached 120 DAA from formulation of glyphosate, for water from the Arroio Bretanhas farm. Since the desertion of glyphosate in a Gleyssolo Háplico Ta Eutrophic was not observed, it can be judged that the concentration of it remained as bonded residue. Thus, the dissipation of this herbicide in this soil can be a reflex of, among other factors, the formation of bonded residue, determining, in this manner, its destiny and/or behavior in the environment.

Growing concerns about the possible toxicity of silver to aquatic organisms, bacteria and humans have led to newly issued regulations by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration regarding the use of silver.

Air quality in the United States has improved dramatically over the past 50 years in large part due to the introduction of the Clean Air Act and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency to enforce it. This article is a reflection on the 50-year anniversary of the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency, describing what economic research says about the ways in which the Clean Air Act has shaped our society—in terms of costs, benefits, and important distributional concerns. We conclude with a discussion of how recent changes to both policy and technology present new opportunities for researchers in this area.
