Nonprofits Tell U.S. Supreme Court Not to Grant Pesticide Companies Immunity from Cancer ... WASHINGTON, D.C. – A coalition of consumer, public health, sustainable agriculture, and conservation organizations represented by Center for Food Safety (CFS) filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case Monsanto v. Durnell yesterday explaining why state efforts to warn the public about pesticides’ health hazards must not be eliminated. For the past decade, state juries across the country have found Monsanto (now Bayer) guilty of failing to warn the public of the cancer risks of its flagship pesticide, Roundup, totaling billions of dollars in damages against the chemical giant. Monsanto is now using the Supreme Court case to seek immunity from any accountability for these harms. Monsanto claims the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) safety review is sufficiently protective, but in a 2022 CFS case a federal court struck down EPA’s review of glyphosate (the active ingredient of Roundup), as contrary to law and core cancer safety standards. “Monsanto’s self-interested desire that it and EPA be the sole arbiters of pesticides’ safety would vitiate the long tradition of cooperative federal-state roles in protecting the public health,” said George Kimbrell, Legal Director at Center for Food Safety. “Their position seeking to escape accountability for their toxic products is wrong every possible...

Farm Bill Draft and Executive Order Fuel Debate Over Pesticide Regulations House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson recently introduced the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. Shortly after, Trump issued an executive order to expand domestic glyphosate supply. Environmental advocates say both could significantly reshape the regulation of pesticides in the United States. The Bill includes a provision to create uniformity in pesticide labeling. It would prohibit states and courts from requiring manufacturers to include health warnings not recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Nonprofits including the Center for Food Safety and Food & Water Watch say that it will restrict states and local governments from adopting stronger pesticide regulations. They also worry it will limit state-level protection for farmers, public health, and the environment. The Bill has drawn backlash from environmental groups, with critics arguing it aims to protect pesticide companies from litigation. “A liability shield for pesticide manufacturers would mean indiscriminate use of thousands of harmful pesticides linked to cancer and water pollution,” Mitch Jones, Food & Water Watch’s Managing Director of Policy and Litigation, tells Food Tank. Under existing law, pesticide regulation operates through a shared federal-state system. The EPA evaluates pesticide safety and approves product labels under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide...

EPA Watchdog Finds Nation's Most Toxic Are Vulnerable to Flooding, Wildfires About 100 of the nation’s most contaminated toxic waste sites are in areas prone to flooding and wildfires, a potential public health threat to millions of Americans in surrounding communities, the internal watchdog at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found. The EPA’s Office of Inspector General issued two new reports last week that are part of a series assessing the weather-related vulnerabilities of the 157 federal Superfund sites prioritized for cleanup due to the serious risk they pose to public health and the environment. About 3 million Americans live within a mile of a Superfund site, while 13 million people live within 3 miles (4.8 kilometers). Some of the Superfund sites were found to be at risk from multiple natural-disaster threats. The studies found 49 in coastal areas are at risk from sea-level rise or storm surge from hurricanes, with many located near highly populated areas and important ecological locales like Chesapeake Bay. Another 47 are in low-lying sites prone specifically to inland flooding from heavy rain. The review also found 31 sites in areas at high risk for wildfires. Despite these risks, the five-year plans governing the expensive and time-consuming cleanups at the sites often failed to account...

Policies meant to limit air pollution allow toxic dumping in Salish Sea Washington state is facing a conundrum on the open water. A tool to reduce air pollution from ships can result in water pollution. And a proposal to untangle that paradox ran aground this winter in the Washington Legislature for the second year in a row. Semi-retired KUOW reporter Tom Banse wrote about the issue recently for the Salish Current. He talked to KUOW’s Paige Browning about his reporting. This interview has been edited for clarity. Paige Browning: The issue involves something called exhaust scrubbers, used to basically power wash the smokestacks and exhaust on big ships, so they put out less nasty air pollution. But you report this is backfiring. Can you explain what's going on? Tom Banse: That's right. It is kind of a conundrum. Ships basically, under international maritime rules, have two options for how to reduce their air pollution. One is just to switch to a premium, more expensive, but cleaner-burning fuel. The other is to use the scrubbers. The problem with the scrubbers is you get this acidic, toxic wastewater that has to go somewhere and commonly it's just flushed overboard. What the Legislature, at the prodding of the environmental community locally, is thinking of doing...

Landmark e-waste policy brief exposes toxic dumping in Kenya and Ghana - PR Kenya imports approximately 70% of its electronic equipment, much of which arrives near the end of its useful life. NAIROBI, Kenya — Waste-pickers in Kenya are paying a heavy price for an escalating e-waste crisis in Kenya. Exposure to toxic chemicals released during unsafe handling of electronic waste, including open burning, acid leaching, and manual disassembly, has left 61% of waste pickers in Nairobi’s Korogocho settlement reporting health problems, with nearly half suffering respiratory illness, and more than a third reporting skin infections. Kenya imports approximately 70% of its electronic equipment, much of which arrives near the end of its useful life. Speaking during the launch of a landmark policy brief and factsheet on the escalating e-waste crisis devastating communities in Kenya and Ghana, the environmental organisation warned that toxic electronic waste, often disguised as donations or recycling, is putting lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems at risk. Hellen Kahaso Dena, Pan-African Plastics Project Lead at Greenpeace Africa, said: “What we are witnessing is waste colonialism in action: wealthy countries offloading toxic burdens onto African communities under the guise of development and charity. When only about 1% of e-waste is formally recycled, the remainder is handled in informal settings where waste pickers,...

Toxic blooms and invasive clams are forcing a rethink on the Waikato River The Waikato is New Zealand's longest river, central to the identity and practices of Waikato River iwi and a source of drinking water for nearly half of the country's population. It is also becoming a case study in what happens when very different environmental pressures hit the same system faster than authorities can respond. A recent RNZ investigation documented worsening toxic algal blooms in hydro lakes in the upper Waikato. Communities around Lake Ohakuri describe water so green it resembles the "Incredible Hulk", dogs becoming violently ill and mats of toxic slime covering the surface. These conditions are a long way from Te Ture Whaimana o te Awa o Waikato, the legislated vision for a river safe for swimming and gathering food. The reporting captured genuine community frustration and institutional fragmentation. But to turn concern into effective action, we need to understand why blooms keep forming where they do. Otherwise, interventions risk missing the mark. The Waikato cannot afford misdirected effort. The location of the worst blooms is a clue. Lake Ohakuri sits right next to the Ohaaki-Broadlands geothermal field, where decades of extracting hot fluids for power generation have caused the ground to sink by nearly seven metres. That...

Scientists Think Our Ancestors Ate Toxic Plants-And Lived to Tell The Tale Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new study suggests that a pile-dwelling community from the neolithic (around 4500 B.C.E.) regularly consumed bitter vetch—a plant that’s mildly toxic to humans if unprocessed. By interpreting the charred pulse seed coats found at the Ploča Mičov Grad complex near Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia, archaeobotanists confirmed that humans likely prepared this plant for consumption. Although bitter vetch isn’t a staple in our diet today, the plant is extremely drought-tolerant, can grow in low temperatures, and thrives in nutrient-poor soils, making it a compelling candidate for varying our future food system as the planet warms. In many ways, ancient peoples don’t get nearly enough intellectual credit, but misleading portrayals are slowly being replaced by a new understanding. Growing evidence indicates that ancient peoples were remarkably innovative—some research even goes so far as to propose that humanity’s intelligence actually peaked thousands of years ago. Now, a new study (from researchers at the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh) puts forth fresh evidence that ancient communities understood food science far better than they’re often given credit for. Examining a Neolithic farming settlement at Ploča Mičov Grad near Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia,...

Why Cancer Rates Are Skyrocketing In Iowa: Look to Nitrate, Pesticides, PFAS and Radon When Iowa resident Chris Henning was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, her youngest sister and brother-in-law had already died of cancer 13 years earlier and her father had been treated for lung cancer. Since her diagnosis, another one of her sisters died of cancer and two more women in her family have received cancer diagnoses. But testing indicated that the sisters’ breast cancers are not due to family genetics, she tells Sentient. After stints in Des Moines and Arizona, Henning now lives on a farm in Greene County, Iowa, just half a mile from the family farm where she grew up. Over the past 25 years or so of familial cancer diagnoses, Henning has ruminated on what her family shares besides genes. As a kid, she remembers carrying little jugs of herbicide to spray the milkweeds and glancing up as planes carrying fungicides sprayed overhead. Like Henning, many Iowans are personally affected by — and have questions about — rising cancer rates in the state. Today, the Iowa Environmental Council and The Harkin Institute released a report addressing the issue, the result of painstaking work and 16 cancer listening sessions in all corners of the state. “Iowans deserve to know...

Turning toxic marine mud into safe construction fill Marine mud is generated in large quantities during dredging, coastal development, land reclamation, and marine construction. In fast-growing urban regions, this sediment can become a major waste-management burden because it is wet, sticky, difficult to handle, and often contaminated with heavy metals. Conventional stabilization methods usually rely heavily on Portland cement, which is effective but energy-intensive and carbon-heavy. Alternative geopolymer approaches are promising, yet many still depend on corrosive or costly activators and do not always immobilize contaminants well enough. Based on these challenges, there is a pressing need to carry out in-depth research on low-carbon, practical, and safe strategies for the remediation and in-situ reuse of contaminated marine mud. A team from Harbin Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, the University of Abomey-Calavi, and the Beninese Office for Geological and Mining Research reported (DOI: 10.1007/s11783-026-2122-z) online on January 10, 2026, in ENGINEERING Environment that contaminated marine mud can be remediated and recycled in situ into engineered backfill materials using low-carbon formulations built around aluminosilicate raw materials. To build a treatment route that was both effective and realistic, the researchers designed the work in stages. They collected marine mud from a construction site in Macao, then tested...

Mapping pesticide mixtures to cancer risk at the country scale with spatial exposomics We developed and validated a high-resolution environmental model to assess pesticide risk across Peru and to forecast regions with elevated exposure. Based on pesticide transport and degradation principles, the model computes—on a national scale—the environmental fate of the 31 most commonly used pesticides in the country (Fig. 1 and Extended Data Table 1). To mirror real-world applications, data on AIs from regulatory sources were cross-validated against field surveys of 650 agrochemical retailers (Extended Data Fig. 1). Notably, none of the pesticides included in the model are classified as group 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). To map environmental pesticide exposure risk, we integrated spatial data on soil properties and monthly resolved hydrometeorological variables (2014–2019) to approximate pesticide transport, degradation and dispersion from application sites to downstream deposition zones (Fig. 1). A hierarchical framework aggregated simulation outputs across all 31 AIs onto a grid with 100 m × 100 m resolution, generating a normalized risk score for each grid cell (scale 0–100). District-level calibration, fine-tuned using 2018 cultivated land cover data, enhanced predictive accuracy by aligning model outputs with local agricultural activity (Extended Data Fig. 2). The model thus captures cumulative, long-term risk from pesticide mixtures...

Toxic forever chemicals found in garden products raise concerns It was the first week of spring and Deborah Harris of Riverhead was visiting her local garden center, where she’d picked up two bags of fertilizer that she’d been told worked like a charm to keep deer off her hosta plants. But after being advised to read the label for the product, Harris discovered its origins of the product was at a sewage treatment facility in the Midwest, including the disclosure that it contained biosolids, one of the byproducts of waste treatment. Harris’ usage was for nonfood plants so she said she was torn about what to do. Scientists say the potential dangers are clear. Some biosolids have been linked to a class of toxic chemicals commonly referred to as forever chemicals, known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, under the names PFAS and PFOS, among others. Forever chemicals have been linked to kidney and testicular cancer, lower antibody response to vaccines, changes in liver enzymes and even increased cholesterol levels, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of those chemicals recently turned up in a study of Long Island farm stand vegetables, including those labeled organic. The exact source remains a mystery. Long Island farmers do not...

Reusable antimicrobial masks shed toxic metals during washing Reusable masks promise protection, but new research reveals they may quietly release toxic metals into waterways, raising urgent questions about their environmental cost. Study: Washable Face Masks: An Emerging Source of Metal and Nanoparticle Contamination in Aquatic Environments. Image credit: learesphoto/Shutterstock.com Washable face masks marketed as containing metal nanoparticles have become increasingly used due to their touted antimicrobial properties. A recent paper in Environment and Health reveals the other side of the story: these masks, unless properly discarded, may serve as a source of metal contamination in aquatic environments. This emphasizes the need for regulation throughout their lifecycle. Metal nanoparticles accumulate and move through aquatic systems Tens of thousands of tons of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) are produced today. Composed of metals such as silver (Ag) and copper (Cu), they possess unique properties that make them useful across multiple medical, industrial, and consumer product settings. Meanwhile, about 10 % of the estimated 318 tons of MNP waste enters water bodies. They may undergo bioaccumulation and transfer through aquatic food chains, potentially leading to human exposure, with damaging effects on human health. Washable MNP-containing face masks became popular during and after the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic due to claims of...

Conservation and Law Groups Support Challenge of EPA's Failure to Regulate PFAS ... Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) and partner organizations, including the Kentucky Resources Council (KRC) and Earthjustice, have filed briefs in support of an appeal challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) failure to protect communities from PFAS — toxic forever chemicals — in sewage sludge. The appeal — brought by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) — highlights the EPA’s refusal to act despite decades of contaminated sludge being spread on farmland as fertilizer across the country. CLF and KRC’s brief — filed on behalf of impacted farmers, the Truckers Movement for Justice, environmental and water protection organizations, and an organic trade association — focused on the daily health risks faced by those on the ground. “Every day, truck drivers haul this sludge, farmers spread it on their fields, and families sit down to eat food grown from that land. None of them should have to wonder if they are being exposed to toxic chemicals,” said Erica Kyzmir-McKeon, director of communities and toxics at CLF. “But right now, that is exactly what’s happening. PFAS are moving through our farms, our water, and our food, and people are paying the price for EPA’s failure to act. Farmers, workers, and communities deserve so much...

Canada's Chemicals Management Plan faces uncertain future, and that's a big toxic problem This article was originally published in The Hill Times. For the past two decades, Canada’s Chemicals Management Plan has been helping to protect people and the environment from harmful substances. Despite not being a household name, the Chemicals Management Plan serves a vital function. As mandated by the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, both Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada assess and regulate the hundreds of thousands of potentially harmful chemicals on the market. These substances we interact with, from plastics and PFAS “forever chemicals” to flame retardants and household products, are found in our blood, our lungs and even in placentas. Many are linked to cancers, hormone disruption, reproductive harms, asthma and neurodevelopmental disorders. The Chemicals Management Plan’s science-based process protects environmental and human health, is fundamental to our trade relationships and is supported by both industry and the public. But current funding for this program runs out at the end of this month, and, inexplicably, the government has not communicated any decision about funding the plan beyond this fiscal year. With funding decisions being pushed to the last minute, this makes it harder for the researchers and regulators to plan and execute multi-year assessments, and they are...

Public health experts call for stricter glyphosate regulation A group of 17 leading public health researchers and advocates from the US, Canada, and Europe are calling on regulators around the world to treat the widely used herbicide glyphosate as hazardous and limit or eliminate its use to protect public health. The recommendations are in a statement released March 27, after a 2-day research symposium on glyphosate and health held at the University of Washington (UW). The event had about 200 participants, in person and online, from the fields of exposure science, epidemiology, toxicology, statistics, law, and advocacy. More broadly, the authors of the statement call for “pesticide approval decisions based on a more comprehensive and unbiased suite of health effects data,” and for those data to come from testing conducted by laboratories and organizations independent of the pesticide industry. They also call for regulators to publicly release all scientific evidence used in pesticide evaluations. “We concluded at this symposium that the evidence that glyphosate can harm human health is now so strong that it is essential that action be taken to reduce people’s exposure and to get it out of the environment,” said the symposium’s lead organizer, Lianne Sheppard, a biostatistician and professor of public health sciences at...
