Since 2015, several more publications have added weight to glyphosate\u2019s link to cancer. A <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2019\/02\/study-confirms-findings-on-carcinogenic-glyphosate-suggests-compelling-link\/\">February 2018 meta-analysis<\/a> finds \u201ca compelling link between exposures to GBH [glyphosate-based herbicides] and increased risk of NHL [non-Hodgkin lymphoma]. A February 2019 University of Washington study found that glyphosate increased the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by as much as 41%.<\/p>\n<p>V\u00edctor M. Toledo, Mexico\u2019s Minister of the Environment, said in a press release that the effort is part of decision steps to transform the county\u2019s food system to make it \u201csafer, healthier and more respectful of the environment (m\u00e1s seguro, m\u00e1s sano y respetuoso con el medio ambiente).\u201d The country will be analyzing alternatives to glyphosate, importantly, focusing in management experiences and practies used by farmers in indigenous communities for thousands of years. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cancer is far from the only health impact demonstrably linked to exposure to glyphosate-based herbicide formulations. glyphosate (and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/HiddenIngredientsinGlyphosateAretheMostToxic.PAY.fall18-web.pdf\">adjuvant ingredients in formulations<\/a>) is also linked to endocrine disruption, <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2018\/03\/study-shows-glyphosate-linked-shorter-pregnancies\/\">reproduction harm,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/09\/kidney-liver-damage-linked-to-chronic-low-dose-glyphosate-exposure\/\">renal and hepatic damage,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/pesticides\/factsheets\/bp-fact-glyosphate.082017.pdf\">toxicity to fish and other aquatic organisms<\/a>. A 2018 Washington State University study determined that residents living near areas treated with the herbicide are one-third more likely to die prematurely from Parkinson\u2019s disease. Studies also find that glyphosate is linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2019\/05\/weed-killer-glyphosate-linked-to-multi-generational-adverse-health-effects\/\">multi-generational adverse health effects,<\/a> including prostate, ovarian, and kidney diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The Mexican government will launch an educational campaign to educate residents on the health risks involved with the use of glyphosate products. Minister Toledo sums of the concerns well, noting that this is a problem everyone must act on; \u201cbeyond productivity, there is human and environmental health (m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la productividad, est\u00e1 la salud humana y Ambiental),&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. government has acted antagonistically to countries that have begun to phase out toxic pesticides like glyphosate. Last month, the U.S., alongside the Bolsonaro government in Brazil, <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2020\/07\/u-s-and-brazil-trying-to-force-thailand-to-accept-food-coated-in-hazardous-pesticides\/\">launched complaints against Thailand<\/a> with the World Trade Organization after the country added paraquat and chlorpyrifos to its list of hazardous substances. Due to <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2019\/10\/us-government-opposes-toxic-chemical-bans-in-thailand\/\">U.S. pressure<\/a>, Thailand had already delayed implementation and dropped its intent to include glyphosate on its hazard list.<\/p>\n<p>As Mexico will show over the next decade, there are readily available alternatives to glyphosate that do not put human health and the environment at unnecessary risk. Organic practices represent a path forward that eschews the use not only of glyphosate but the myriad of other toxic pesticides registered by environmental agencies.

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\/27315","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=27315"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27331,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27315\/revisions\/27331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
