Formulations of glyphosate-based weedkillers are toxic, tests show
Government scientists say danger lies with added ingredients in the products not glyphosate
Tests by a US government agency on common weedkilling products made with the chemical glyphosate have found some formulations sold to the public to be genotoxic, meaning they are damaging to human DNA.
But the government scientists at the National Toxicology Program (NTP) say the danger probably lies with added ingredients in the products – not glyphosate.
