Roundup Weedkiller
Roundup is one of the most widely used weed killers in the world. The active ingredient in Roundup is a chemical called glyphosate. Glyphosate kills weeds by blocking proteins plants need to grow.
Roundup was first sold in 1974 by a company called Monsanto. Farmers quickly adopted Roundup because it was very effective at killing weeds but did not seem to harm most crops. Homeowners also started using Roundup to control weeds in gardens and lawns.
Over the decades, Roundup became the #1 selling weed killer globally. But concerns started emerging that glyphosate might not be as safe as initially thought.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” This means there is some evidence it could cause cancer in people exposed to it.
