Question: Is Glyphosate safe to use for controlling invasive plants?
Answer: Studies show Glyphosate has lower acute and chronic toxicity to humans than most herbicides and many household chemicals. The EFSA has not identified any critical concerns regarding its risk to humans, animals, or the environment.
A Closer Look:
Glyphosate is widely used due to its effectiveness and relatively low toxicity compared to other herbicides. When applied by trained professionals following safety guidelines, it poses minimal risk to human health and the environment, making it a preferred choice for many weed control projects.
