Environmental Protection Agency, “Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED): Glyphosate,” Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances, September 1993.
ABSTRACT:
All pesticides sold or distributed in the United States must be registered by EPA, based on scientific studies showing that they can be used without posing unreasonable risks to people or the environment. Because of advances in scientific knowledge, the law requires that pesticides which were first registered years ago be reregistered to ensure that they meet today’s more stringent standards. In evaluating pesticides for reregistration, EPA obtains and reviews a complete set of studies from pesticide producers, describing the human health and environmental effects of each pesticide. The Agency imposes any regulatory controls that are needed to effectively manage each pesticide’s risks. EPA then reregisters pesticides that can be used without posing unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. When a pesticide is eligible for reregistration, EPA announces this and explains why in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document. This fact sheet summarizes the information in the RED document for glyphosate. FULL TEXT

ABSTRACT:
The IARC Monographs identify environmental factors that can increase the risk of human cancer. These include chemicals, complex mixtures, occupational exposures, physical agents, biological agents, and lifestyle factors. National health agencies can use this information as scientific support for their actions to prevent exposure to potential carcinogens. FULL TEXT
Environmental Protection Agency, “Updated Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA) Report for Glyphosate Case PC #s(103601, 103604, 103607, 103608, 103613,and417300),” Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, October 22, 2015.
ABSTRACT:
This memorandum transmits an updated Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA) report for the glyphosate case (previously completed in 2007). The usage data in the updated SLUA (2015) are an amalgamation of USDA/NASS and Private Pesticide Market Research data from 2005 to 2014. The new SLUA (2015) shows a decrease in usage, in terms of pounds a.i. and/or percent crop treated on apples, apricots, artichokes, avocados, broccoli, caneberries, cauliflower, grapefruit, garlic, nectarines, oranges, pasture, peaches, pears, pecans, and tangelos. The usage data did not change for cantaloupes, carrots, celery, lemons, oats, green beans, and pumpkins. The new SLUA (2015) shows an increase in usage, in terms of pounds a.i. and/or percent crop treated on the remainder of the SLUA crops. FULL TEXT
