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.

Surfactants in Roundup Can Increase Occupational Exposure in Humans
People who work in outside environments are more likely to be accidentally exposed to Roundup and therefore have a higher risk of developing cancer as a result of that exposure to Roundup chemicals. When you are accidentally exposed to Roundup, you can have Roundup that enters into your body from breathing it in, from exposure to your skin, or from accidentally touching your face where it is on your hands from an application of Roundup nearby where you are walking or working. If this happens you may ingest some Roundup into your body.
Once Roundup is in your body, it can alter your DNA, trigger chromosomal aberrations or damage, and can kill cells through the process of necrosis or apoptosis.1 When you are ready to review your claim with the best Los Angeles Roundup law firm, you can give our legal team a call today.
