Why Are the Surfactants in Roundup So Toxic and Carcinogenic to Humans?
Surfactants in Roundup Can Cause Cancer in Humans
The active ingredient in Roundup chemicals are glyphosates, which are also surfactants. A surfactant is used in Roundup formulas to produce a smoothing agent within the Roundup chemical formula. In non-technical terms, the surfactant helps other chemicals work better by providing a wetting compound to bind to other chemicals in the Roundup formula. In synthetic chemical form though, surfactants can be toxic to humans. The occupational exposure of humans to the glyphosates in Roundup have shown to be hazardous to human health and can cause cancer in people exposed to Roundup in residential and commercial environments.
