Since it was first registered for use in 1974, many in the United States
have used glyphosate as an herbicide to kill grass and broadleaf plants.
Glyphosate’s sodium salt form is often used to ripen fruit and regulate
the growth of plants. Many companies use glyphosate in their products.
It prevents a protein creation in most plants that is normally used to
promote growth.
Unfortunately, this product has its drawbacks in the agricultural community as exposure has become a major concern. This means that glyphosate is either on the skin, in the eyes, or inhaled. The herbicide can also effect pets who come in contact with plants that have been sprayed with it.
Glyphosate has been used very popular products such as Monsanto Roundup, which has come under a lot of scrutiny lately regarding its potential links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The herbicide has been designated as a probable cause for cancer in humans by the World Health Organization.
This should be a large concern to those who use products containing glyphosate as exposure can have potentially fatal consequences.
