Glyphosate (GLP) is the most frequently and intensively used herbicide in the world. People can be exposed to GLP through different pathways, such as food and drinking water. This exposure has a wide range of consequences on our health. In France, only a very handful of studies have investigated the population’s exposure to glyphosate by using sensitive analytical methods. This is essential to assess potential health risks, identify factors associated with overexposure and identify possible ways of reducing exposure. We propose to carry out a descriptive  study of glyphosate concentration in a large sample of the population of the Correze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne departments (Limousin). This study, in collaboration with the Limousin MSA, will allow us to determine the prevalence of glyphosate overexposure in a sample of the Limousin population.
