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.

Image shows a poster on the use of laryngeal ultrasound by paediatric speech and language therapists by the team from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and Imperial College Hospital, London. The poster includes images of an ultrasound image of the voice box and an image of a child undergoing ultrasound.

Finally, thank you to my co-authors for enabling two different research outputs to be presented this year at #espo2025

First, the chance to share our poster presentation on #feasibility #slpeeps #wespeechies #laryngeal #ultrasound #VFMI

Why I'm trying to stop writing about Trump And why I'm so conflicted about it

If I'm any proof, Trump/Magas can harm mental and physical health​ even without RFK Jr.
