Studies in a variety of amphibians have shown the toxicity of products containing POEA to amphibian larvae. These effects include interference with gill morphology and mortality from either the loss of osmotic stability or asphyxiation. At sub-lethal concentrations, exposure to POEA or glyphosate/POEA formulations have been associated with delayed development, accelerated development, reduced size at [[metamorphosis]], developmental malformations of the tail, mouth, eye and head, histological indications of intersex and symptoms of oxidative stress.<ref name="Mann" /> Glyphosate-based formulations can cause [[oxidative stress]] in bullfrog tadpoles.<ref name=iarcmono>{{cite journal | url= https://monographs.iarc.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mono112-10.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712091323/https://monographs.iarc.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mono112-10.pdf |archive-date=2018-07-12 |url-status=live |title= Glyphosate |  journal = IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans | volume = 112 | date = 11 August 2016 | publisher=[[International Agency for Research on Cancer]] | access-date= July 31, 2019}}</ref> The use of glyphosate-based pesticides are not considered the major cause of amphibian decline, the bulk of which occurred prior to widespread use of glyphosate or in pristine tropical areas with minimal glyphosate exposure.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite journal |vauthors= Wagner N, Reichenbecher W, Teichmann H, Tappeser B, Lötters S |title= Questions concerning the potential impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on amphibians |journal= Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry |volume= 32 |issue=8 |pages= 1688–700 |date= Aug 2013 |pmid= 23637092 |doi= 10.1002/etc.2268 |s2cid= 36417341 }}</ref>

A 2000 review of the toxicological data on Roundup concluded that "for terrestrial uses of Roundup minimal acute and chronic risk was predicted for potentially exposed nontarget organisms". It also concluded that there were some risks to aquatic organisms exposed to Roundup in shallow water.<ref name="Giesy2000">JP Giesy, KR Solomon, S Dobson (2000).
