Environmental Toxic Exposure
Dangers of Roundup Weed Killer
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialized agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015.
However, other regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have stated that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer in humans when used correctly.
Proven Cancer Risks, Known Dangers
Roundup, which was first released in 1974, is the most popular weed killer in the world, with nearly 250 million pounds used on our crops, golf courses and lawns.
Glyphosate is a main ingredient of the product, which may be a human carcinogen linked to several cancers.
Cancer Caused by Roundup
Lymphoma
Myeloma
Bone cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Colon cancer
Leukemia
Soft tissue carcinoma
Liver cancer
Thyroid cancer
Monsanto Investigations
Several investigations are underway to determine if the manufacturer, Monsanto (now owned by Bayer AG), continued to sell Roundup while aware of its health dangers.
As early as the 1970s, research revealed that glyphosate caused cancer in rodents, and in recent years, evidence of its links to cancer grow stronger. Monsanto denies that Roundup is dangerous and continues marketing it as an environmentally friendly product.
Environmental Impact
Glyphosate has the potential to harm non-target plants and animals, including beneficial insects and aquatic organisms. It can affect biodiversity by reducing food sources for wildlife and impacting the habitats of certain species.
Additionally, there is concern about the development of glyphosate-resistant weeds, which can lead to increased herbicide use and potential environmental consequences.
