2023
Overview
The safety of glyphosate-based pesticide products has been questioned for decades particularly as they are extensively used worldwide and there is a lack of consensus on their potential adverse health effects for humans. The debate on glyphosate's carcinogenicity continues across stakeholders, including two international beacons of science, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), who have come to diametrically opposing conclusions. Concerns over glyphosate's potential carcinogenicity tend to dominate the debates, but studies on other adverse effects also require attention (e.g., the association of adverse effects with prenatal glyphosate exposures). Undoubtedly, glyphosate has been a commercial success, with the active ingredient used in >750 products, including the most highly used herbicides worldwide, the Roundup products. Glyphosate is highly versatile and used in agriculture, horticulture, and personal gardening for a multitude of uses, from a preharvest desiccant to eliminating invasive plant species. A major boost to its use was the development of genetically modified glyphosate-resistant (i.e., Roundup Ready) crops; it is now ubiquitous in the environment.
