Aquatic organisms are highly exposed to pollution as contact with waterborne xenobiotics is unavoidable. The ecotoxicity of GLY and GBHs has been studied in numerous aquatic organisms, including various algae species [77, 78], small planktonic crustacean such as Daphnia magna [79], molluscs [80], fish [81], and amphibians [82] (Fig. 1). Due to the long-lasting toxic effects of GLY, it is classified by the European Chemicals Agency ECHA as toxic to aquatic life (aquatic chronic 2; H411) [83].

There is a widespread assumption that GLY/GBHs are specific and only affect target weed plants. In this review, we have compiled extensive evidence published since 2010 showing that GLY and GBHs have multiple effects on various non-target organisms in terrestrial ecosystems.
