SIGN THE PETITION
The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on
Cancer found that glyphosate, commonly sold as RoundUp, is a “probable
human carcinogen."
This is serious, as hundreds of millions of pounds of this herbicide
are used on farmland across America every year, and the U.S. Geological
Survey has detected glyphosate in rain, streams and air near
agricultural areas.
Americans are exposed to this “probable human carcinogen” in their
food, air and water every day, and the EPA and FDA are not doing enough
to protect us from these exposures and potential health problems.
It's time for the EPA to suspend the use of glyphosate until a
meaningful evaluation of the herbicide's carcinogenicity is done as a
part of the EPA's ongoing registration review.
The FDA should also begin monitoring and enforcing tolerance levels for glyphosate residues set by the EPA immediately.
