\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, August 7, 2019) A study<\/a> conducted by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) finds that children carry significantly higher levels of glyphosate in their bodies than their parents. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Bayer Monsanto\u2019s Roundup, has been identified as probably carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer<\/a>. \u00a0In the context of recent data from the American Cancer Society (ACS) indicating that pediatric cancer in the U.S. surged by almost 50% from 1975 to 2015, many parents are worried, and looking for ways to reduce their children\u2019s exposure to glyphosate and other toxic pesticides.<\/p>\n

The study conducted by CEH enrolled eleven families from all over the U.S., testing levels of glyphosate in children\u2019s urine as compared to their parents. Results showed that over 90% of participants had been recently exposed to glyphosate. In most child\/parent pairs, the child\u2019s body had surprisingly higher concentrations of glyphosate (up to 4 times that of the parent), supporting research<\/a> that glyphosate poses a greater threat to children.<\/p>\n

Children may be more susceptible to glyphosate for a variety of reasons<\/a>. Children are growing, so they take in more of everything (from food, to water, to pesticides) per pound of body weight. Kids also spend more time closer to the ground crawling or playing, which increases risk of exposure. Additionally, since glyphosate<\/a> alters protein synthesis, it can especially impact children as they are undergoing biological and physiological changes.<\/p>\n

Simon Strong and Vilma Tarazona Strong have spent the four years since the death of their 12-year-old son Oliver from acute myeloid leukemia advocating for research on the causes and confounding variables of pediatric cancer. Mr. Strong told reporters of the Guardian<\/a> that he realized he had been quietly encouraged to think that cancer is the result of \u201cbad luck and dodgy genes\u201d rather than \u201ctriggered by external agents that damage our DNA and the body\u2019s ability to deal with that damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that viewpoint pervades the American Cancer Society\u2019s webpage on risk factors for childhood cancer<\/a>. While ACS is for the most part silent on the impact of pesticides on childhood cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society recognizes these risks<\/a>. A broader conversation about environmentally induced cancers is critical, as ACS estimates that about 11,060 children in the US under the age of 15 will be diagnosed<\/a> with some form of cancer this year.<\/p>\n

While Oliver\u2019s parents, like many, do not know specifically what caused their son’s cancer, research led them to understand that his exposure to pesticides on turf fields<\/a> may have played a role. Oliver\u2019s father told the Guardian that he now regrets using Roundup on their patio, and that \u201cOliver\u2019s brother Edward said they both hated the smell of that stuff.\u201d He said once he looked at the container and saw that it contained glyphosate he looked it up. \u201c[I] saw it was declared a\u00a0probable human carcinogen<\/a>\u00a0by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. And we all know now about the\u00a0jury verdicts regarding glyphosate<\/a>\u201d he said, referencing recent court cases that have linked glyphosate to cancer. Although the manufacturer, Bayer, continues to insist the product is safe, they are currently fielding lawsuits<\/a> from over 18,400 plaintiffs who complain of cancer and other ailments caused by use of and exposure to the product<\/p>\n

Oliver\u2019s parents started a project called \u201cThe Reasons Why<\/a>\u201d to connect families who experience cases of pediatric cancer, assess causal factors, and delve into the impact that chemical exposure can have on children. Private research projects, like the Strong\u2019s, are increasingly important as federal funding for pediatric cancer work has taken a serious hit<\/a> under the Trump administration. President Trump announced in February a $500 million appropriation over 10 years, which pales in comparison to President Obama\u2019s $1.8 billion, seven-year investment.<\/p>\n

Communities all over America are questioning their local air and water quality and possible toxin exposure. From Michigan<\/a> to Indiana<\/a> to Pennsylvania<\/a>, people are taking note of rising cases of pediatric cancer and other diseases<\/a>. Beyond Pesticides encourages individuals to take precautions and avoid hazardous pesticides to reduce risk of cancer. The best way to minimize this risk is to shop organic<\/a>, as studies have found that levels of pesticide metabolites in urine drop precipitously<\/a> when switching to an all organic diet. If you think you have been exposed to pesticides, visit Beyond Pesticides\u2019 What to do in a Pesticide Emergency<\/a> page, and take measures to prevent future exposure. Additionally, concerned parents are encouraged to advocate for pesticide-free land management<\/a> practices and to question service providers about their practices and products to ensure toxic chemicals<\/a> are not used on your property. And, of course, adopt organic practices<\/a> in the management of your lawn and garden and encourage your town to adopt organic land management practices<\/a> for their parks, playing fields, medians, and open space.<\/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\/25377","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=25377"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25397,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25377\/revisions\/25397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
