Can Pesticide Workers Get Cancer Over Time from Roundup Exposure?
Roundup Pesticides Use High Doses of Glyphosates Which Can Cause Serious Cancers in Humans
There are many different Roundup formulas that contain cancer-causing chemical glyphosate that can cause cancer in humans. The Roundup formulas use various other chemicals that are hazardous to human health, including:1
- Roundup Biovert
- Roundup 3plus
- Cosmic
- Amega
- Cargly
These chemical compounds cause cancer in humans by disrupting cellular structures in the body. The pesticides used by Roundup use heavy doses of glyphosates, which kill pests in crops and in the environment when applied, but are hazardous to humans exposed to the chemicals. The main issue with Roundup is that there is a longer-term risk for humans that one cancer can develop from one single cell many years later or even decades after the initial exposure to the chemical. Studies show that there is a direct link to the onset of cancer for people who are exposed to glyphosate in Roundup chemical formulas, which is hazardous to the health of humans and can result in serious illnesses and some cancers.1
