Over the years, the "Roundup" herbicide products produced by the American chemical giant Mengshandu have been controversial in the chemical components that may have a "carcinogenic" risk to the human body because of their composition. , Also face a large number of claims. However, because Mengshan was acquired by the German pharmaceutical giant in 2018, these troubles fell on the heads.

However, in 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made a ruling that attracted worldwide attention. It may be carcinogenic. This ruling was immediately praised by Bayer, but it also caused many condemnations from farmers and environmentalists who accused Caoganu to poison their health and destroy the environment.

However, according to the Associated Press reported on the 18th, a federal court in California in the United States made a judgment on Friday that the EPA's ruling that year had problems and asked them to re -inspect the glyphosate.

Judging from the Associated Press report, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the U.S. Federal Federal Appeals that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency failed to come up with sufficient evidence to support its glyphs. At the same time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not been able to make sufficient assessments on whether glyphosate will affect the influence of other animal and plant species, which violates the legal obligations of the United States' "Protection Law on the Vercent Species". This latest judgment has now been cheered against the glyphosate group, saying that this is a "historic victory" -s, although this ruling does not mean that the herbicide of the glyphosate ingredients is prohibited from selling. This product can still be sold freely in the United States.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stated that they would evaluate the 54 -page judgment document made by the court, and then decide how to do the next step. Bayer said that the US Environmental Protection Agency's ruling two years ago was based on the rigorous scientific evaluation of the past 40 years. Green osmantilia will not cause cancer. However, the Associated Press pointed out that Bayer had previously announced that it would withdraw from pesticide products containing glyly -containing pesticide products from the earliest 2023.

In the end, the Associated Press added that although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency believes that glyphosate does not cause cancer, California and other governments in the United States and other states and localities all believe that glyphosate has carcinogenic risk and Limited. In 2015, the international cancer research institution under the World Health Organization determined that glyphosate was a "class 2A" carcinogen, that is, "it may cause cancer to the human body." The official website of the International Cancer Research Agency shows that this identification is based on "limited" human cancer evidence and "sufficient" animal cancer experiments.
