(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, June 27, 2022) It is now\u2014more than ever\u2014up to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to recognize glyphosate (Roundup and other products) as a carcinogen and remove it from the market. As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voided EPA\u2019s \u201cinterim registration review\u201d decision approving continued use of glyphosate, issued in early 2020<\/a> saying<\/a>, \u201cEPA did not adequately consider whether glyphosate causes cancer and shirked its duties under the Endangered Species Act (ESA),\u201d and the Supreme Court refused to consider (deny certiorari) a Bayer petition<\/a> to save the company from being held accountable to those diagnosed with cancer after using glyphosate herbicides, EPA\u2019s failure to act speaks to the capture of the agency by the industry it is supposed to regulate.<\/p>\r\n

Tell the EPA to ban glyphosate immediately. Tell Congress to ensure that EPA performs its job as required by law.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Ninth Circuit court held that EPA unlawfully concluded that glyphosate does not pose a cancer risk. Despite overwhelming evidence<\/a> and high profile lawsuits against Bayer\u2014with jury verdicts against the company in the tens of millions of dollars\u2014EPA came to \u201cno conclusion\u201d on glyphosate\u2019s connection to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Notably, the agency did not assess how much glyphosate gets into a user\u2019s bloodstream after skin contact with the herbicide, a major route of exposure for the chemical. The court criticized EPA for its \u201cdisregard of tumor results;\u201d its use of \u201cbare assertions\u201d that \u201cfail[] to account coherently for the evidence;\u201d making conclusions that do not \u201cwithstand[] scrutiny under the agency\u2019s own framework,\u201d and \u201cfail[ing] to abide by\u201d its cancer guidelines. In sum the court noted EPA\u2019s \u201cinconsistent reasoning\u201d made its decision on cancer \u201carbitrary,\u201d and struck it down.<\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, courts have been granting large settlements<\/a> to people who contracted cancer as a result of using glyphosate. In June 2020, facing approximately 125,000 suits for Roundup\u2019s role in cancer outcomes, Bayer announced a $10 billion settlement<\/a> to resolve roughly 75% of current and potential future litigation; claimants who signed on to the settlement were to receive compensation and were not to pursue any additional legal action. However, roughly 30,000 complainants did not sign on to the settlement, leaving the queue of potential lawsuits potentially enormous. Seeing the writing on the wall, Bayer tried for a second settlement (of roughly $2 billion) to handle any future claims, but in 2021, a U.S. District Court judge (for the Northern District of California) rejected<\/a> Bayer\u2019s settlement proposal<\/a>, saying that it was inadequate for future victims diagnosed with cancer after using the herbicide.<\/p>\r\n

Other evidence is mounting against glyphosate<\/a>, with research showing disruption of bumblebee reproduction, negative impacts on the gut microbiome, increased greenhouse gas emissions, oxidative stress and DNA damage, body burdens, threats to endangered species, and more. If EPA is to convince citizens that it is worthy of the job entrusted to it and not captured by the pesticide industry<\/a>\u2014in particular, Bayer\/Monsanto<\/a>\u2014it must do a thorough review of all<\/em> the evidence that finds glyphosate to be carcinogenic.<\/p>\r\n

That evidence shows that glyphosate must be banned immediately.<\/p>\r\n

Tell the EPA to ban glyphosate immediately. Tell Congress to ensure that EPA performs its job as required by law.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\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. 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\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"After Court Finds EPA Inaction Unlawful, It's Time for the Agency to Ban Glyphosate - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2022\/06\/after-court-finds-epa-inaction-unlawful-its-time-for-the-agency-to-ban-glyphosate\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"After Court Finds EPA Inaction Unlawful, It's Time for the Agency to Ban Glyphosate - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","og_description":"(Beyond Pesticides, June 27, 2022) It is now\u2014more than ever\u2014up to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to recognize glyphosate (Roundup and other products) as a carcinogen and remove it from the market.

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\/31253","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=31253"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31253\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31268,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31253\/revisions\/31268"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
