AB Glyphosate  (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine)  is  an  herbicide  that  is  used  widely  in  agriculture,  forestry,  and  commercial  weed  control.  It  is  one  of  the  first  herbicides  against  which  crops  have  been  genetically  modified  to  increase  their  tolerance.  U.S.  poison  control  center  data  from  2014  report  glyphosate  to  be  the  most  common  herbicide  exposure.  There  are  over  750  commercial  glyphosate-based  products  (Roundup,  Vantage,  and  many  others)  marketed  for  sale  in  the  United  States.  Concentrations  of  glyphosate  range  from  0.5%  to  41%  or  higher  and  most  products  consist  of  an  aqueous  mixture  of  the  isopropylamino  salt  of  glyphosate,  a  surfactant,  and  various  minor  components.  Concentrated  Roundup,  the  most  commonly  used  glyphosate  preparation  in  the  United  States,  contains  41%  glyphosate  and  15%  polyoxyethyleneamine  (POEA).
