As both Health Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is aware, label language is often neglected by homeowners and even trained professionals, as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sltrib.com\/home\/2339622-155\/herbicide-mistake-at-slc-cemetery-to\">recent mistake at a Utah cemetery<\/a> prominently shows.<\/p>\n<p>EPA is also in <a href=\"http:\/\/iaspub.epa.gov\/apex\/pesticides\/f?p=CHEMICALSEARCH:31:0::NO:1,3,31,7,12,25:P3_XCHEMICAL_ID:2477\">the process of reviewing glyphosate<\/a>, which it is doing in collaboration with Health Canada. Thus, Health Canada\u2019s proposal may indicate \u00a0the action that EPA will take on the chemical.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its designation as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=15245\">probable carcinogen<\/a> and links to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=15293\">antibiotic resistance<\/a>, glyphosate has been associated with an increased risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=5454\">birth defects, <\/a> and studies have shown that the \u201cinert\u201d ingredient used in formulated Roundup, polyethoxylated tallowamine (POEA), can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=1997\">kill human embroyonic, placental, and umbilical cord cells<\/a>. Glyphosate has been implicated in an epidemic of kidney disease in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=13071\">Sri Lanka<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=11757\">Central American<\/a> farmers and farm workers. The chemical has been shown to have significant impacts on the environment, as a 2012 study associated Roundup with stress-included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=7182\">alterations in frog morphology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Glyphosate\u2019s use in genetically engineered (GE) agriculture has been well documented to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=8239\">cause resistance<\/a> in target weed species. According to the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds, <a href=\"http:\/\/weedscience.org\/summary\/resistbyactive.aspx\">236 weed species<\/a> throughout the world have been shown to exhibit resistance to glyphosate-based herbicides. Moreover, the use of herbicides like glyphosate in agriculture contributes to erosion by creating permanently bare soil, resulting in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=14465\">release of older, even more toxic chemicals<\/a> like DDT stored in sediment.<\/p>\n<p>Preventing pollution at the source is the only way to ensure that health will be protected. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/lawn\/index.php\">Organic landscape management<\/a> is an effective alternative to the use of risky products like Roundup. By learning how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/pesticidefreelawns\/resources\/Read%20Your%20Weeds-Organic%20Lawns.pdf\">read what your weeds are telling you<\/a> about your soil, and focusing on proper cultural practices like mowing your lawn high (over 3 inches), aeration, overseeding, and correcting nutrient imbalances based on soil test results, you can eliminate the need to even least-toxic pesticide products. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/lawn\/activist\/index.php\">100s of towns in the U.S.<\/a> and Canada and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pesticidefreebc.org\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=171:pesticide-laws-in-canada&amp;catid=57:canadian-pesticide-regulations-fall-short&amp;Itemid=108\">number of Canadian provinces<\/a> have embraced a similar approach. Beyond Pesticides encourages concerned residents to sign the <a href=\"http:\/\/action.beyondpesticides.org\/p\/dia\/action3\/common\/public\/?action_KEY=19864\">petition to EPA<\/a> to stop glyphosate use now, before the agency renews glyphosate\u2019s registration, as Health Canada has done.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hc-sc.gc.ca\/cps-spc\/pest\/part\/consultations\/_prvd2015-01\/prvd2015-01-eng.php\">Health Canada<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>All unattributed positions and opinions in this piece are those of Beyond Pesticides.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, April 21, 2015) Last week, Health Canada opened public comments on its reevaluation decision for glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto\u2019s Roundup herbicide.

Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15450"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15467,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15450\/revisions\/15467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
