Currently very little is known about this AMPA. It is formed by biodegradation of the herbicide glyohosate and can be found at lower concentrations in the environment. It adsorbs more strongly to soils than glysphosate and might have a higher tendency towards bioaccumulation. Glysphosate however is not expected to bioaccumulate much because of its high water solubility. AMPA is also more stable than glyphosate. [2]
