EPA Calls Irrelevant Thousands of Scientific Studies on Weed Killer Glyphosate Harm, Seeks Public Input8:29 (Beyond Pesticides, September 21, 2026) Public comments are due by 11:59 pm ET on September 24, 2026. In response to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) public comment period on the active ingredient glyphosate used in weed killers, a national action is asking the agency to “consider all the science on glyphosate and other pesticides.” The agency is asking for public input on the independent science it proposes to consider in reviewing the safety of glyphosate, which has been classif… Early Puberty in Girls Linked to Prenatal Neonicotinoid Insecticide Exposure, Study Finds18.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 18, 2026) In a novel study of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) and female puberty, published in Environmental Pollution, researchers find that prenatal exposure is associated with children’s bodies beginning to change into adult bodies too soon, known as precocious puberty (PP). PP has two distinct subtypes: central precocious puberty (CPP), which is caused by prema… Soil Health in Organic Production Shows Greater Resilience to Climate Change than Chemical-Intensive Agriculture17.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 17, 2026) Climate instability is one of the defining crises experts across the globe acknowledge as critical to the longevity of agricultural systems and, by extension, human civilization. In a study published in the European Journal of Agronomy, researchers identify the climate crisis and land management systems (chemical-intensive versus organic) as playing a criti… Adding to Existing Science, Review Finds Pesticides Threaten Health of Soil, Wildlife, and Humans16.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 16, 2026) A review of agrochemicals and soil health, published in Plant Science Today, highlights the adverse impacts that chemicals have on living systems. The team of researchers from India finds that organic amendments improve soil health, while pesticide pollution threatens not only soil quality but the health of humans and wildlife, as well as ecosystem stabilit… Literature Review Highlights Nontarget Ecosystem and Human Health Impacts of Pesticides15.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 15, 2026) A literature review published in Farming System identifies some of the latest science, published largely between 2020 and 2026, highlighting the nontarget impacts of pesticide contamination. The authors define off-site exposure as follows: “Less than 0.1% of applied pesticides reach target pests, while the remainder contaminates soil, water, and non-target … Action Voices Support for Organic Integrity with Continuous Improvement14.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 14, 2026) Comments are due by 11:59 pm ET on October 1, 2026! In advance of the semi-annual meeting of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), which governs the allowed materials in certified organic food products and advises the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture on organic standards, a national action is focusing attention on cleansers, sanitizers, and disinfectant… Unstable Pesticide Molecules Cause Oxidative Stress, Induces Disease from Autoimmune Disorders to Cancer11.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 11, 2026) A review of environmental pollutants, published in Antioxidants, analyzes how different compounds, including pesticides, amplify oxidative stress, an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [unstable molecules that can harm cell function] and the body’s ability to detoxify them, which leads to a myriad of adverse health effects. “T… Gestational Diabetes Elevated in Pregnancies of Women Exposed to Pesticides10.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 10, 2026) A study published in Environment International demonstrates the importance of shifting away from pesticides linked to health consequences not only for those spraying or working around pesticides, but also for residential communities exposed as a result of off-target exposure through drift. The researchers find that elevated exposure to pyrethroid and organo… Study Findings Conflict with Body of Science Linking Pesticides to Attention Deficits and Autism9.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 9, 2026) What may seem to be conflicting findings on adverse effects of pesticide exposure are often a function of evaluations that test for different exposure patterns, asking different questions, using various biomarkers, and evaluating unique pathways. In science, true legitimate scientific controversy on study findings is defined by an inability to replicate a st… Governors Asked To Stop Pesticide Drift Off Target Site, Harming People, Property, and the Environment8.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 8, 2026) Because the movement of pesticides off of farms and treated landscapes is a daily occurrence without adequate protection, a national action calls on Governors “to prohibit the use of drift-prone pesticides and all pesticides that do not comply with pesticide label restrictions (designating the site, crop, or pest) because of regular nontarget drift or runoff… |
