(Beyond Pesticides November 4, 2015)<\/em> On Monday, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Center for Environmental Health, El Quinto Sol de America, Californians for Pesticide Reform, the Center for Food Safety and the Pesticide Action Network released a report with findings that that more than half of the commercial glyphosate sprayed in California is applied in the state\u2019s eight most impoverished counties. Glyphosate is a phosphanoglycine herbicide that inhibits an enzyme essential to plant growth. \u00a0Commonly known as Roundup, glyphosate is classified<\/a> as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization\u2019s International Agency for the Research of Cancer (IARC), based on sufficient evidence<\/a> of carcinogenicity in experimental animals, and is currently under review to receive a similar designation<\/a> from the state under California\u2019s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 <\/em>(Proposition 65<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The report, \u00a0Lost in the Mist: \u00a0How Glyphosate Use Disproportionately Threatens California\u2019s Most Impoverished Counties<\/a><\/em>, found that 54 percent of glyphosate spraying in California is applied in eight counties, many of which are located in the southern part of the Central Valley. The analysis finds that \"roundup\"the populations in these counties are predominantly Hispanic or Latino, indicating that glyphosate use in California is distributed unequally along both socioeconomic and racial lines. The report aligns with another recent \u00a0study<\/a> \u00a0by California EPA that found Hispanics and people in poverty disproportionately live in areas of high \u00a0pesticide use, and a 2014 California Department of Public Health \u00a0study<\/a> \u00a0showing that Hispanic children are 46 percent more likely than white children to attend schools near hazardous pesticide use. All of these findings bring awareness to the factors that perpetuate environmental injustice in our low-income and minority communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve uncovered a disturbing trend where poor and minority communities disproportionately live in regions where glyphosate is sprayed,\u201d said Nathan Donley, Ph.D., a staff scientist with the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cIn high doses glyphosate is dangerous to people, and California can\u2019t, in good conscience, keep allowing these communities to pay the price for our overreliance on pesticides.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glyphosate, touted as a \u201clow toxicity\u201d chemical and \u201csafer\u201d than other chemicals by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry, is widely used in food production and on lawns, gardens, parks, and children\u2019s playing fields. However, IARC\u2019s classification of glyphosate as a Group 2A \u201cprobable\u201d carcinogen represents a finding of \u00a0carcinogenicity in humans based on laboratory \u00a0animal testing. The agency considered the findings from an EPA Scientific Advisory Panel report, along with several recent studies in making its conclusion. The agency also notes that glyphosate caused DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells. Further, epidemiologic studies have found that exposure to glyphosate is significantly associated<\/a> with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin\u2019s Lymphoma<\/a> (NHL).<\/p>\n

Following the carcinogenic classification by the IARC, \u00a0a \u00a0research study<\/a> \u00a0published in the journal Environmental Health<\/em> \u00a0links long-term, ultra-low dose exposure to glyphosate in drinking water to adverse impacts on the health of liver and kidneys. The study focuses on Glyphosate-based Herbicides (GHBs), rather than pure glyphosate, unlike many of the studies that preceded it. Pediatrician \u00a0Philip J. Landrigan, M.D., and researcher Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., \u00a0recently released a prospective article<\/a> \u00a0on the effects of glyphosate and \u00a0GE crops<\/a>. In \u00a0this article<\/a>, they highlight the flaws of past glyphosate studies and \u00a0conclude that they only considered pure glyphosate \u201cdespite studies showing that formulated glyphosate that contains surfactants and adjuvants is more toxic than the pure compound.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0<\/em>Their article also pointed to the ecological impacts of widespread glyphosate use, like the damage it has had on the monarch butterfly and other pollinators. Last year, the Center for Biological Study and Center for Food Safety \u00a0filed a legal petition<\/a> \u00a0with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services seeking \u00a0Endangered Species Act<\/em> \u00a0protection for the monarch butterfly.<\/p>\n

All of these findings support the California Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) efforts to list glyphosate as a cancer-causing chemical under Proposition 65. As evidence of the hazardous effects of glyphosate continue to mount, environmental groups like Beyond Pesticides are urging localities to ban or restrict the use of the chemical. California\u2019s glyphosate listing is certainly a step in the right direction; however, further steps toward a restriction or ban will be needed to \u00a0protect the public’s health. Being \u00a0the number one agricultural producing state<\/a>, California\u2019s action may help to move glyphosate off \u00a0the market, which would serve as a victory for the low-income communities in the southern part of the Central Valley that \u00a0are exposed to glyphosate at higher levels than the general population. Disproportionate exposure to glyphosate and the negative health effects that accompany it extend beyond these Californians. In Argentina, the use of genetically engineered (GE) crops and companion pesticides, including glyphosate, has caused significant health impacts in small farming towns, sending cancer rates skyrocketing and quadrupling the number of birth defects. Advocacy groups say that this serves as another example<\/a> of environmental injustice associated with pesticide products produced by \u00a0agrichemical \u00a0companies like Monsanto.<\/p>\n

For those who would be unaffected by California\u2019s listing, the best way to avoid glyphosate and other harmful pesticides is to support organic agriculture and \u00a0eat organic food<\/a>. Beyond Pesticides has long advocated for organic management practices as a means to foster biodiversity, and \u00a0research shows<\/a> \u00a0that organic farmers do a better job of protecting biodiversity than their chemically-intensive counterparts. Instead of prophylactic use of pesticides and biotechnology, responsible organic farms focus on fostering habitat for pest predators and other beneficial insects, and only resort to judicious use of least-toxic pesticides when other cultural, structural, mechanical, and biological controls have been attempted and proven ineffective.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. 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.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. 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\/16901","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=16901"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16909,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16901\/revisions\/16909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
