To think Oregon has been spraying this chemical, often via helicopter within residential neighborhoods, for years. Makes you wonder... You got that right, what was once half the formula for Agent Orange – 2,4-D – will now be sprayed on crops to get rid of the superweeds that Monsanto’s RoundUp chemicals caused to grow, and our EPA is actually considering allowing this ridiculousness. 2,4-D is associated with increased cancer risks (among other things), especially for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is also a potent neurotoxin and hormone-disruptor. Studies show that exposure to 2,4-D can also cause more frequent incidence of Parkinson’s disease, reduce sperm counts, and an increase in birth defects. An unprecedented increase in 2,4-D would inevitably pose risks to public health, farmers, and the environment. Haven’t we had enough, yet?
