## 8 Conclusions  
With respect to the literature that focuses on the effects of GBHs and the current reality in agriculture and the environment, it is clear that GBHs, with their weed-controlling effect are becoming more commonly used. Glyphosate will likely continue to be used, regardless of all the damage it can do to the environment. However, glyphosate's accumulation in soil, water, and indirectly in the humans and animals that consume agricultural products should not be disregarded. The majority of agricultural production today relies heavily on herbicides, and there are no environmentally friendly or commercially viable alternatives. Even though glyphosate is mineralized, under certain conditions, glyphosate and its metabolites have long half-lives. In some circumstances, plants, soil, and water may still \begin{table}

Studies have shown that water, soil, and a variety of foods are contaminated at rates that could endanger the environment. Regardless, according to most scientific studies, the contamination rate does not prove harmful to most organisms and poses no risks to the environment provided recommended application rates are adhered to, and reapplications are avoided. However, a health concern can arise from the long-term buildup of these compounds in humans, animals, and the environment as glyphosate affects the body in an insidious way, slowly and over time. In agricultural practices and home gardeners, glyphosate is an important weed control tool. Nevertheless, new research indicates that it is imperative to determine the most environmentally and toxicologically sensitive scenarios to guide glyphosate use in the future for it to continue to be useful, thereby assuring minimum contamination of the environment and no negative health consequences. Therefore, further interdisciplinary research regarding prolonged herbicide exposure at low levels, microbial community alterations, growth of antibiotic resistance, and increase in disease outbreaks in humans, plants, and animals is recommended. Considering all possible health risks, independent studies are required to revisit glyphosate residue tolerance criteria in food, animal feed, soil, and water.
