Study Claiming This Weedkiller Is Safe Was Just Retracted—25 Years Later — VICE A quarter-century ago, a study hit the scientific journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, claiming glyphosate, a.k.a. the weedkiller Roundup, posed no health risk, making millions feel a littl...

IARC's Cancer Warning: Atrazine, Alachlor, and Vinclozolin In today's episode we're diving into the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Working Group, which evaluated the carcinogenicity of three common chemicals: atrazine, alachlor, and vinclozolin. A group of 22 scientists from 12 countries met to classify atrazine and alachlor as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A), and vinclozolin as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). We examine the evidence, including limited human links between atrazine and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is positive for the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation and a strong association between alachlor use and laryngeal cancer. Exposure is high for agricultural workers via inhalation and dermal absorption, but the general public is also exposed primarily through drinking water and foodstuffs.

EPA’s Failure to Ban Glyphosate Keeps Burden of Protection with Consumers and Local and State Governments - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, September 30, 2022) In late September, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the withdrawal of its Interim Decision on glyphosate, the active ingredient in multiple herbicides, most notably Monsanto’s (now Bayer’s) Roundup. The action follows a slew of developments related to the herbicide, including: the 2015 International Agency for Research on Cancer’s declaration of its carcinogenicity; legal judgments and massive rewards to victims who developed cancers after chronic exposures; advocate efforts to get EPA to recognize the dangers of, and curtail, its use; and pushback from industry — most of the latter two coming in the form of litigation. The withdrawal of that Interim Decision means, on the ground that this harmful compound can continue to be used until a next regulatory review decision by EPA. Beyond Pesticides has long been engaged in education on and advocacy against glyphosate use, and was a plaintiff in the 2020 lawsuit, with the Center for Food Safety (CFS), et al., against EPA for this 2020 Interim Decision (ID). Under FIFRA (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act) each pesticide must be reviewed by EPA every 15 years “to ensure that existing pesticide products continue to perform their intended function without […]
