Health and environmental groups raise alarm as EU Chemicals Agency fails to classify glyphosate as a human carcinogen gmwatch.org/en/106-news/la… Some of the world’s leading independent scientists have made the link between #glyphosate and cancer but ECHA refuses to do so 
“Unfortunately, it's not the 1st time ECHA has failed to transparently and clearly justify its dismissal of independent scientific evidence. That’s incredibly worrying given the EU’s commitment & duty to protect its citizens & the environment from the most hazardous substances.”
Unlike ECHA, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, the gold standard for cancer research, finds #glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. It has also been linked to adverse effects on human development, reproduction and hormonal systems.
ECHA’s opinion is a foundational step in the renewal process for 15 more years of #glyphosate!! This excellent @eoin thread explains how ECHA & other EU agencies rely on shoddy industry-funded genotoxicity studies that experts say are dangerously deficient

@eoin Some of the experts speaking at this webinar observed ECHA meetings on #glyphosate and are familiar with how it evaluates studies. They found major incoherencies in its evaluation of the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity potential of glyphosate
