While most people know that herbicides can be dangerous to humans and pets, particularly when ingested, California health officials have confirmed the long-held assertion that a key ingredient of some of the most popular herbicides can even cause cancer.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has determined that this ingredient, glyphosate — the main component in weed killers such as Roundup — is now added to the State of California list of carcinogenic chemicals compiled in accordance with Proposition 65. A Roundup weed killer lawyer could explain in more detail during an initial consultation.
The Link Between Roundup And Cancer
Even though herbicide manufacturers say their glyphosate-containing products are safe, more than 800 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients have already filed suit, alleging that Roundup gave them cancer.
The recent decision by California to list glyphosate as a carcinogen certainly comes as welcomed news to these cancer victims, although herbicide manufacturers vow to appeal this carcinogenic designation.
