Known Cancer Causing Carcinogen Used in Roundup
Glyphosate, a recognized carcinogen, is the main ingredient in Roundup. Studies have found that prolonged exposure to glyphosate has been specifically linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
One such study published in a Canadian medical journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, showed that men frequently exposed to glyphosate were at high risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in under 10 years. Similarly, Swedish researchers published close findings to the Canadian study in the International Journal of Cancer.
Due in part to these findings, and over 100 people coming forward claiming harm from using Roundup, a class action lawsuit has been filed against the manufacturer of Roundup, Monsanto (Monsanto non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Lawsuit, Case No. 1:18-cv-01215, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among other things, the class action suit includes claims of negligence and failure to warn consumers of potential dangers and risks.
Users of Roundup At Risk of Developing Different Cancers
In addition to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, users of Roundup have been at higher risk of developing other types of DNA damage and cancers such as:
- B-cell lymphoma
- Hairy cell leukemia
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Skin tumors
- Brain cancer
- Testicular cancer
People Most at Risk from Extensive Exposure to Roundup
People most at risk of developing cancer from long term exposure to glyphosate include:
- Landscapers
- Agricultural workers
- Groundskeepers
- Farmers
- Professional gardeners
- Plant nursery workers
Were you diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma? It’s a good idea if you or a loved one develop any form of cancer after chronic Roundup exposure to seek a claim to cover damages and other financial losses resulting from medical treatment and lost wages.
