EU Conference: Is glyphosate safe for health and the environment?

Scientist experts highlighted the harmful effects of glyphosate in this meeting in the EU Parliament on September 18th 2023. The event was organised by PAN Europe in cooperation with MEPs Christophe Clergeau (S&D) and Jutta Paulus (The Greens/EFA). The experts gave a review of the most recent independent science on the harm done by glyphosate and its formulations. Professor Michael Antoniou from King's College London sighed: “When will regulators stop living in the dark ages and come into the 21st century?” Genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, damage to the gut microbiome and endocrine disruption by glyphosate and glyphosate-based products have been given little importance in the safety assessment by the European safety authorities ECHA and EFSA. The same is the case for the harmful effects of glyphosate on soil, water and biodiversity. Seven experts document glyphosate damages and alternatives: 35:46 Evaluating the carcinogenicity of glyphosate by Christopher J. Portier, Former Director of the US National Center for Environmental Health 43:49 Glyphosate and ECHA's "weight of evidence" on carginogenity, oxidative stress and damage to DNA by Dr Peter Clausing, senior toxicologist, glyphosate expert for PAN Germany 54:25 The Global Glyphosate Study by Daniele Mandrioli M.D, Ramazzini Institute 1:04:01 Multiple organ system toxicity of glyphosate and Roundup Bioflo (MON 52276) at regulatory relevant doses by Professor Michael Antoniou, Head of the Gene Expression and Therapy Group at King's College London 1:20:35 Ecotoxicity of glyphosate by Professor Johann G.
