What Is the Formula for Determining the Toxicity of Roundup?
Roundup Chemicals Usually Contain Dangerous Glyphosates in the Formula
The glyphosates used in the chemical compound that makes up Roundup herbicides are hazardous to human health. This is not conjecture but based on the results of years of medical and scientific studies on the topic. Glyphosate is a non-selective post-emergent herbicide, which means it kills every weed in its path and stays in the soil afterwards for several months to years.1 When a pesticide is used an active ingredient in Roundup, it can affect people who are close to the application when it is being applied to crops or to the soil.1 Therefore, the general formula of Roundup is toxic in the environment and to humans. Said another way, there are no “safe” amounts of Roundup and glyphosates that you should ever be exposed to in the environment.1 We know that you are not chemists and that you may have many different questions regarding your personal injuries related to Roundup exposure.

Will Roundup Ever Change Their Chemical Formula to Make It Less Hazardous?
Well, that has already happened and the formula has been modified. The Monsanto company recently did note that they are getting many lawsuits from cancers and other health problems, based on people being exposed to their chemicals in Roundup. For this reason, Monsanto just changed the formula to make Roundup a little less toxic. But as we mentioned, there are no safe levels of glyphosates for the human body, and a little bit can accumulate in your body just as easily over time as one large exposure to these deadly compounds.
