Pesticide pollution in Midwest rivers is getting worse, decade-long study reveals
Scientists monitored for 80 chemicals across 81 sites for a decade.
At most sites, they found troubling levels of at least one pesticide between 2013 and 2022. The levels were high enough to possibly harm aquatic plants or invertebrates.

Pesticide makers stack wins against US environmental, public health groups—with the help of Trump. Trump's administration seems to have decided "our constituency is these big farmers and pesticide companies"—not MAHA. Industry wins on #glyphosate #dicamba and #atrazine https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/pesticide-makers-stack-wins-against-us-environmental-public-health-groups-2026-07-13/

AGENCY LETS FLY WITH CHEMICAL'S FUTURE
The EPA decided yesterday that atrazine weedkiller is unlikely to cause extinction of species. This means it can still be used.

1. TrumpRX: “I think outside of maybe a cure itself it’s the biggest thing to happen to everything having to do with medical in any... in any way shape or form.”
2. The (now so-called) Environmental Protection Agency approved atrazine, a carcinogenic weedkiller banned in >60 countries.
3. In the midst of an international Ebola outbreak, the NIH has been ordered to stop all Ebola research.

A Month After #Trump Doubles Down on #Atrazine, #WHO Dubs It ‘Probably #Carcinogenic to Humans’
“It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous #poison in the United States,” said the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director.
Jessica Corbett
Nov 21, 2025"Just a month after the Trump administration doubled down on the alleged safety of atrazine, a United Nations agency said on Friday that the pesticide—which is banned by dozens of countries but commonly used on #corn, #sugarcane, and #sorghum in the United States—probably causes #cancer.
" 'It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous poison in the United States,' said Nathan Donley, the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director, in a Friday statement. 'This finding is just the latest indictment of the industry-controlled US #pesticide oversight process that is failing to protect people and #wildlife from chemicals linked to numerous health harms.'

Breaking down the use of #glyphosate in the U.S.
by Pam Dempsey, #InvestigateMidwest May 26, 2019
"#Glyphosate is the most used #pesticide on U.S. agricultural crops, with the nation using an estimated 287 million pounds in 2016, according to an analysis by the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting.
"And sales continue to grow, with market researchers predicting the glyphosate market to grow to $8.5 billion to $10 billion annually by 2021 up from $5 billion now.
"Of 400 pesticides used on agriculture crops across the U.S, glyphosate is used at least three times more than all others, according to an analysis of data estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey.
"The second-most used weed killer in the U.S. is #atrazine – with 75.4 million pounds used on U.S. agriculture crops in 2016.
"In 2016, the #Midwest used 65 percent of the nation’s total agriculture glyphosate use on crops. The U.S. Census defines the Midwest as a 12-state area including: #Illinois, #Indiana, #Iowa, #Kansas, #Michigan, #Minnesota, #Missouri, #Nebraska, #NorthDakota, #Ohio, #SouthDakota, and #Wisconsin.
"All total – the Midwest used 188.7 million pounds of glyphosate on crops and cropland in 2016 – up from 4.6 million pounds in 1992."

#RFK. Jr. Has Unlikely Allies in His Drive to Limit #Atrazine
In Europe, #weedkiller atrazine has been banned for nearly two decades because of its suspected links to reproductive problems like reduced sperm quality and birth defects.
In the #UnitedStates, it remains one of the most widely used #pesticides, sprayed on #corn, #sugarcane and other #crops, result of years of industry #lobbying. It has been detected in #drinkingwater of 40M Americans.

Turns out there *are* some chemicals (a herbicide called #Atrazine) in the water that turn the frikkin' frogs gay (actually transgender, to split hairs, but ...):

It turns out that reality is indeed sometimes stranger than fiction."
