California to List World’s Most Commonly Used Herbicide as Carcinogen

‘California’s Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it will list glyphosate — a widely used herbicide dangerous to people and linked to the dramatic decline of monarch butterflies — as a chemical known to cause cancer.
