Quick Insights
- Glyphosate, the primary ingredient of Roundup, has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia.
- Many reputable scientific studies have proven a link between Roundup and several types of cancer.
- If you or a family member developed any kind of lymphoma as a result of Roundup exposure, get in touch with Tosi Law to discuss your eligibility for compensation.
While Roundup has mostly been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the herbicide and its primary ingredient, glyphosate, has also been associated with large B-cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia.
In addition to its association with these types of cancer, glyphosate has also been studied for its effects as an endocrine disruptor. Scientists have established a connection between the chemical and human reproductive issues, birth defects, kidney disease, and liver disease.
Furthermore, glyphosate is also likely to destroy helpful gut bacteria and harm DNA in human embryonic, placental, and umbilical cord cells.
Studies Linking Roundup Exposure to Lymphoma
Monsanto, the manufacturer of Roundup, has long denied any ties between its product and lymphoma, but ample research from leading science and health organizations contradicts this claim.
- In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that glyphosate is a “probable human carcinogen.”
- In 2017, the State of California added glyphosate to its Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessments’ (OEHHA) list of cancer-causing chemicals.
- In February 2019, University of Washington (UW) researchers’ meta-analysis of studies on glyphosate revealed a “compelling link” between glyphosate-based herbicides and NHL. Some data specifically indicated that agricultural workers who were heavily exposed to glyphosate suffered a 41 percent higher risk of developing NHL over their lifetimes than people who never used or used it infrequently.
- The UW group reviewed studies conducted between 2001 and 2018. One 2018 investigation studied more than 54,000 individuals who worked as licensed pesticide applicators. UW’s study also revealed a correlation between occasional Roundup use, other glyphosate products, and NHL.
- In January 2019, Environmental Sciences Europe published an analysis questioning the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) classification of glyphosate. (In 2017, the EPA indicated in a draft risk assessment glyphosate “is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans”).
