Definition of Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA):
Aminomethylphosphonic acid is mainly produced by environmental biodegradation reactions of the herbicide glyphosate[1].
This is the common definition for Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), other definitions can be discussed in the article

| Formula |
| CH6NO3P |
Currently very little is known about AMPA. It is formed by biodegradation of the herbicide glyohosate. Compared to glyohosate; present at lower concentrations in the environment, although it's more stable, it adsorbs more strongly to soils and might have a higher tendency towards bioaccumulation. Glysphosate itself however is not expected to bioaccumulate much because of its higher water solubility[2].
Measured concentrations of AMPA in surface waters range between 6 and 35 µg/l [3].
