Monsanto

A documentary led by Michael Sheen highlights alleged dumping of PCBs and other industrial chemicals linked to Monsanto at multiple Welsh sites, with former workers describing inadequate protection and burial of hazardous waste. Scientists involved say tests found some of the highest PCB levels they've seen and warn the 14 sites identified may be only the tip of about 20,000 high‑concern locations across the UK. Eastman Chemical, which now oversees Monsanto's UK legacy, did not comment, while regulators and public health bodies say current evidence does not show a clear link to increased cancer risk and point to ongoing monitoring and planned Welsh government action on contaminated land. » Altro su yahoo.com

The Supreme Court held 7-2 that federal pesticide law (FIFRA) bars state-law suits alleging Monsanto failed to warn consumers that Roundup could cause cancer, because the product must carry an EPA-approved label. The decision is expected to block thousands of pending claims, including the 2019 suit by John Durnell. Bayer, which acquired Monsanto, is pursuing a proposed $7.25 billion settlement for current and future Roundup claims that remains before a Missouri court. The ruling reflects the EPA's determinations that glyphosate-based labels need not include a cancer warning. » Altro su cbsnews.com
