Action form available for submitting public comments on priority issues—click here. As the harm to public health and ecosystems associated with petrochemical pesticide and fertilizer use continues to be documented in the scientific literature, a national action is calling for standards governing org… Farmworkers’ Pesticide Exposure Linked to Disruption of Metabolic Systems Missed in Regulatory Review25.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 25, 2026) Published in Toxics, a study of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) links chronic exposure to metabolic syndrome (MS) in farmworkers. The research focuses particularly on the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a type of protein inside cells that controls fat cell growth and blood sugar levels and acts as a nuclear receptor that… Atrazine Weed Killer Harms Honey Bee Health at Field-Realistic Levels24.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 24, 2026) While much independent research on pollinator decline has focused on neonicotinoid insecticide poisoning, the authors of a first-of-its-kind study published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology find “structural damage to the midgut” of managed and wild bees exposed to the weed killer atrazine at field-realistic concentrations. The study determines that … Literature Review Captures Science on Adverse Reproductive Health Effects in Men with Pesticide Exposure23.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 23, 2026) A review published in Annual Research & Review in Biology, titled “Pesticide and Herbicide Exposure and Male Reproductive Health: A Critical Narrative Review of Semen Quality, Sperm Genomic Integrity and Mechanistic Evidence,” highlights the current scientific literature linking pesticides to adverse reproductive effects in men. As the authors share: “Conce… Study Links Common Weed Killer to Higher Risk of Preterm Birth, Adding to Other Pregnancy Complications22.září (Beyond Pesticides, September 22, 2026) In a large New York City (NYC)-based cohort of pregnant participants, higher mid-pregnancy glyphosate exposure was linked to a greater chance of going into labor early, according to a new study published in Environmental Pollution by researchers at various institutions, including New York University Langone Health. This study adds to a growing set of studie… EPA Calls Irrelevant Thousands of Scientific Studies on Weed Killer Glyphosate Harm, Seeks Public Input21.září (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.
