In 2015 the World Health Organization&#8217;s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/03\/glyphosate-classified-carcinogenic-by-international-cancer-agency-group-calls-on-u-s-to-end-herbicides-use-and-advance-alternatives\/\">glyphosate as a &#8220;probable carcinogen<\/a>.&#8221; That conflicted with\u00a0findings from the European Food Safety Authority\u00a0(EFSA) and the European Chemicals Agency, which said the substance was not likely to cause cancer in humans. But, it was later revealed that <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2017\/09\/european-regulators-lifted-language-monsanto-concluding-glyphosate-roundup-not-carcinogenic\/\">EFSA copied <\/a>dozens of pages from a Monsanto study in\u00a0reaching its conclusion that glyphosate is \u201cunlikely to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans.\u201d EFSA\u2019s recommendation is supposed to provide an independent analysis for EU member states. In a similar case documenting Monsanto\u2019s influence, the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2017\/03\/monsanto-epa-collude-fight-cancer-classification-roundup-glyphosate-according-court-released-documents\/\"><strong>reported on Monsanto\u2019s internal emails<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and email traffic between the company and U.S. federal regulators that suggested that Monsanto had ghostwritten research on glyphosate (Roundup), which was later attributed to academics.\u00a0Just last month, the <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2017\/10\/monsanto-banned-lobbying-european-parliament\/\">European Parliament banned Monsanto lobbyists<\/a> from committee\u00a0meetings and digital resources, as well as no longer permitting Monsanto lobbyists to meet with any Member of the European Parliament.\u00a0This was an attempt to limit Monsanto\u2019s influence on the EU review process amid mounting public pressure against the relicensing of glyphosate.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the European Parliament\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-lawmakers-vote-to-ban-glyphosate-weed-killer-by-2022\/a-41093018\">voted to ban glyphosate by 2022<\/a>\u00a0amid concerns that it causes cancer. The vote was not binding, but it increased the pressure on the European Commission, which had previously recommended renewing the herbicide&#8217;s license for 10 years. It then reduced its recommendation to five years, which failed to reach a majority last week. In 2016, 48 members of the EU Parliament from 13 different countries had their <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/04\/majority-of-europeans-want-glyphosate-banned-use-continues\/\">urine tested for traces of the herbicide<\/a> and every test turned up positive. The average concentration was 17 times higher than the European drinking water norm.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2017\/07\/california-lists-glyphosate-carcinogen-controversy-remains\/\">California declared glyphosate a carcinogen<\/a>\u00a0under the state\u2019s Proposition 65 law, following the\u00a0IARC classification of glyphosate.<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/gateway\/index.php?pesticideid=37\">Glyphosate<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has historically been touted as a \u201clow toxicity\u201d chemical and \u201csafer\u201d than other chemicals by EPA and industry and is widely used in food production and on lawns, gardens, parks, and children\u2019s playing fields. IARC\u2019s classification of glyphosate as a \u201cprobable\u201d carcinogen indicates that glyphosate is anything but safe. According to IARC, being a \u201cprobable carcinogen\u201d means that the chemical is probably carcinogenic to humans based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. In its report, the agency did note that glyphosate has been linked DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells. Further, epidemiologic studies have found that exposure to glyphosate is significantly associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid glyphosate and other harmful pesticides is to support organic practices in landscapes and agriculture and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/organicfood\/conscience\/index.php\"><strong>purchase organic food<\/strong><\/a>. Beyond Pesticides has long advocated for organic management practices as a means to foster biodiversity, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/06\/study-finds-organic-makes-sense-both-ecologically-and-economically\/\"><strong>research shows<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that organic land management does a better job of protecting biodiversity than its chemical-intensive counterparts. Instead of the prophylactic use of pesticides and crops bioengineered with insecticides, responsible organic practices focus on fostering habitat for pest predators and ecological balance and only resort to the judicious use of least-toxic pesticides when other cultural, structural, mechanical, and biological controls have been attempted and proven ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>As evidence of the hazardous effects of glyphosate continues to mount, environmental groups, including Beyond Pesticides, are\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/action.beyondpesticides.org\/p\/dia\/action3\/common\/public\/?action_KEY=23760\"><strong>urging localities to ban or restrict the use of the chemical and other toxic synthetic pesticides<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>All unattributed positions and opinions in this piece are those of Beyond Pesticides.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-fails-to-agree-on-glyphosate-license-renewal\/a-41308770\"> Deutsche Welle<\/a>; \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-41928007\">BBC News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides,\u00a0November 14, 2017) The European Commission has again been unable to come to a consensus over renewing approval for Monsanto\u2019s popular herbicide,\u00a0 glyphosate.\u00a0 Member states voted last week, but failed to approve, continued use even after months of deliberation over the controversial herbicide.

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\/21576","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=21576"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21590,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21576\/revisions\/21590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
