PRLog -- "There has been a lot of debate about the carcinogenic potential of the pesticide active ingredient, glyphosate. We approached this issue by shifting the focus from hazard to risk, "says Jessica Ryman-Rasmussen, Director and Principal at Atlas Regulatory Toxicology, Inc. Ryman-
Rasmussen holds a PhD and a board certification in toxicology and has expertise in US EPA risk assessment methods. "US EPA released a report of its FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel in which EPA and some Panel members proposed that glyphosate was not likely to be a human carcinogen. However, other Panel members proposed that glyphosate be classified as having "
Suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential". We estimated cancer risks for US populations exposed to glyphosate in food and drinking water, in residential and recreational settings, and occupationally. Our cancer risk assessments were based on US EPA precedents and US EPA risk assessment methods. We did not identify any cancer risks of concern. Our results indicate that the human health risk assessments that US EPA has done for glyphosate are public health-protective for any potential carcinogenicity."
