The study looked at a sampling of products from pharmacies and supermarkets in the area of La Plata, and analyzed cotton swabs, gauze and articles for feminine use. The results from all commercial products detected 85% glyphosate and 62% AMPA (metabolite or derivative of glyphosate).
Almost 100% of the cotton produced in Argentina is transgenic and glyphosate applications are made while the cocoon is open.
