Monsanto’s Roundup® is the most widely used weed killer in the United States today. While primarily used in agricultural and forestry applications, Roundup® is also used in commercial areas for weed control, along highways, in parks, and on home lawns and gardens. The primary active ingredient in Roundup® is glyphosate, an herbicide that has been linked to the development of B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
In the last 20 years the use of Roundup®, both in the United States and across the globe, has grown exponentially. As a result, glyphosate, the active herbicide in Roundup® is infiltrating our food, air and water supplies at increasingly unhealthy levels. Interestingly, in the last several years there has been a corresponding rise in the number of people who have developed B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup®. These individuals are most typically farm workers or those who live in agricultural communities where Roundup® has frequent and widespread use.
In March 2015, the key active ingredient in Roundup®, glyphosate, was identified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in a report published by the World Health Organization.
