Abstract:
We analysed 14 recently marketed pesticides for consumers, available in France, Germany, and Poland. They were supposed to be glyphosate-free herbicides; glyphosate was banned for sale to the public in 2019. Measurements of 36 metals, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 6 essential minerals, and glyphosate plus aminomethyl phosphonic acid, were performed in a laboratory accredited for regulatory purposes. The technologies used were respectively inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography. These data can be used by scientists, the public, and regulatory bodies.
