Scientific Research on the Cancer-Causing Properties of Roundup Weed Killer
While many different sources have reached the conclusion that Roundup weed killer contains chemicals which can cause Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and NHL subtypes, one of the most well-known studies was published by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In response to criticism (which the IARC has fiercely rebutted), the IARC has developed a comprehensive online Media Center where members of the public can find information about Roundup’s cancer-causing effects.
Additional resources on the cancer-causing properties of Roundup include:
- Judge: Experts can testify that Roundup linked to cancer (phys.org)
- Glyphosate toxicity and carcinogenicity: a review of the scientific basis of the European Union assessment and its differences with IARC (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
