Why Is Roundup So Devastating and Hazardous to Humans Who Are Exposed to It?
Roundup is dangerous to humans because of the harsh and hazardous chemicals used in the Roundup formulation and herbicide. For example, Roundup has glyphosates, and adjuvants which are highly toxic chemicals to humans.1 The dangerous chemicals in Roundup can be found to bioaccumulate in human tissues to create long-term detrimental effects, which can trigger cancers or cause organ failure in humans.1
Exposure to Roundup by Adults Can Cause Birth Defects in Children of Pregnant Women
If a pregnant woman is exposed to Roundup chemicals during her pregnancy, she runs the risk of developing non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other chromosomal abnormalities that can be passed on to the developing child as well.1 This means that parental exposure to the herbicide Roundup is dangerous and can alter the cellular structures in humans. Whenever someone sprays Roundup chemicals in landscaping, residential or in commercial areas, there will be the risk of whole families being detrimentally affected with health concerns and risks from the exposure to Roundup.
Exposure to Roundup Can Come in a Variety of Ways
You can be exposed to Roundup in several different ways when you are in outside residential and commercial settings. For example, you can be exposed to Roundup by being outside, and it can detrimentally affect your:1
- Lungs by inhaling Roundup chemicals
- Absorbed into the skin
- Irritation of the eyes and skin
If you are exposed to Roundup, you may find that you carry or have glyphosates and Roundup chemicals in your urine, blood or other bodily fluids such as saliva. You can get tested to determine how much Roundup you are exposed to, but this testing may not show the damage to your internal organs right away. If you have had an accumulation of Roundup chemicals affecting your body, you may be unaware of how much is “stacking up” in your body to eventually make you unwell.
