Atrizine
https://androgenhacker.com/atrazine-effects-on-humans
When male tadpoles were
exposed to small amounts of atrazine in the water,
they ended up turning into hermaphrodites (both
male and female). Atrazine is an endocrine
disruptor and can lower testosterone levels in men
leading to reduced male fertility. It also has
shown to cause miscarriages, low birth weight and
birth defects. Atrazine is neurotoxic in
humans and can lead to neurodegenerative
disorders. Employees at one of the factories
producing Atrazine in Louisianz have been found to
have rates of prostate cancer 3 times
higher than other Louisiana men and there is
a Statistically significant increase in breast
cancer risk with medium and high levels of
atrazine exposure.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2842049/
Atrazine induces complete feminization and chemical
castration in male African clawed frogs. The
impacts of atrazine on amphibians and on wildlife in
general are potentially devastating.
https://www.nrdc.org/bio/andrew-wetzler/new-study-confirms-atrazines-effects-across-range-species-including-us
Atrazine both "de-masculinizes" and "feminizes"
vertebrate male gonads. Atrazine exposure interferes
with and reduces the production of male hormones
(androgens) while increasing the effect and production
of estrogen (female hormones). Low fertility, low
sperm count, and poor semen quality were also
associated with Atrazine exposure in humans living in
agricultural areas.
Glyphosate
https://www.webmd.com/cancer/herbicide-glyphosate-cancer
The International Agency for Research on
Cancer categorizes glyphosate as a probable
carcinogen for humans. Dairy cows
eating a diet of soybeans with high levels
of glyphosate had higher risks of liver and
kidney damage. Pregnant women and children
may have higher risks because children and
developing fetuses may be more susceptible
to carcinogens.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/09/weedkiller-glyphosate-cdc-study-urine-samples
More than 80% of
urine samples drawn from children and adults
in a US health study contained a weed
killing chemical linked to cancer, a finding
scientists have called “disturbing” and
“concerning”. Residues of glyphosate have
been documented in an array of popular foods
made with crops sprayed with glyphosate,
including baby food. The primary route of
exposure for children is through the diet.
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/14/health/us-glyphosate-cancer-study-scli-intl/index.html
Glyphosate increases cancer risk by 41%,
study says. It significantly increases the
risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a cancer
of the immune system.
https://nypost.com/2023/07/03/mysterious-brain-disorder-strikes-hundreds-cases-keep-growing/
Glyphosate may be cause of serious brain
disorders and algae blooms.
https://jneuroinflammation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12974-022-02544-5#
Glyphosate infiltrates the brain and
increases pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα:
implications for neurodegenerative
disorders. The recent rise in glyphosate
application to corn and soy crops correlates
positively with increased death rates due to
Alzheimer’s disease and other
neurodegenerative disorders.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9774325/
Glyphosate consumption from food has been
shown to have a substantial part
in insulin resistance, making it a
severe concern to those with type 2 diabetes

Amatryn
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0940299315300129
An in vivo evaluation of chronic ametryn
exposure caused DNA damage in bone marrow
erythrocytes, highlighting its genotoxic activity.
https://www.purewaterproducts.com/water-problems/ametryn
In animal studies of long-term exposure, Ametryn
was shown to have effects on the liver and caused
decreases in weight gain. Carcinogenic effects
were seen in animals exposed to excessive amounts.
Diuron
https://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/0819.pdf
Diuron can affect you when breathed in. It may
damage the developing fetus. Exposure to Diuron
can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, and throat.
Diuron may affect liver function.
https://naturalpedia.com/diuron-toxicity-side-effects-diseases-and-environmental-impacts.html
Some negative side effects of diuron exposure
include irritation to the eyes, skin and mucus
membranes; coughing and shortness of breath;
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, confusion
and electrolyte depletion; protein metabolism
disturbances, moderate emphysema and weight loss
(when chronically exposed), changes in blood
chemistry, increased mortality growth retardation,
abnormal blood pigment and anemia, as seen in
animal tests in the laboratory.
Mancozeb
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34156691/
Studies found show that this
fungicide is a potential cause of several health
problems, mainly hepatic, renal and genotoxic,
demonstrating with an increase in ETU dosages, as
well as liver enzymes in most studies, corroborating
the idea that the deliberate use of the product can
induce potential systemic complications, and is a
public health problem.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21266532/
The widely used fungicide
mancozeb has been shown to cause hypothyroxinemia
and other adverse effects on the thyroid hormone
system in adult experimental animals. In humans,
hypothyroxinemia early in pregnancy is associated
with adverse effects on the developing nervous
system and can lead to impaired cognitive function
and motor development in children.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27016407/
Mancozeb
may play an important role in the pathogenesis and
progression of chronic disease in humans and
represents a danger for human health in high doses.
https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9390121/
Exposure was shown to
interfere with thyroid functioning through
impairment. Its wide use poses significant health
hazards (8), especially in agricultural communities
in developing countries.
Malathion
https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/PHS/PHS.aspx?phsid=520&toxid=92
Malathion interferes with
the normal function of the nervous system. Because
the nervous system controls many other organs,
malathion indirectly can affect many additional
organs and functions.
https://earthjustice.org/feature/organophosphate-pesticides-united-states/malathion
Even at low levels of
exposure, malathion can lead to serious negative
health effects such as cancer, neurodevelopment
harm, and reproductive toxicity.
https://naturalpedia.com/dichlofluanid-toxicity-side-effects-diseases-and-environmental-impacts-2.html
Malathion is highly toxic
to beneficial insects (e.g. bees), birds, and
aquatic life forms. Repeated or prolonged exposure
to large amounts of malathion may result in
genetic defects and organ failure.
Turbutryn
http://extoxnet.orst.edu/pips/terbutry.htm
Turbutryn can affect the central nervous system in
animals leading to in-coordination, convulsions,
or labored breathing (61). At extremely high
dosages, the animals showed swelling and fluid in
the lungs and central nervous system.
https://ibg.uu.se/digitalAssets/177/c_177024-l_3-k_daho-brandhorst-margareta-report.pdf
In the aquatic systems, Terbutryn is very toxic
to algae and fish.
Pendimethalin
https://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/3415.pdf
Pendimethalin may be a carcinogen in humans.
There may be no safe levels of exposure to a
carcinogen, so all contact should be reduced to
the lowest possible level. It can be absorbed
through skin, thereby increasing exposure.
https://www.chemicalbook.com/ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB7245266.htm#:~:text=Pendimethalin
Causes thyroid follicular cell adenomas in male
and female rats,[20] and is classified as a
possible human carcinogen (Group C) and is also a
suspected endocrine disruptor. It is many times
more acutely toxic by inhalation, Dogs ingesting
50 mg/kg or higher, developed liver damage and
tested rats developed similar effects. It also
causes central nervous system depression in mice
and rats.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/pendimethalin
Highly toxic to freshwater fish and aquatic
invertebrate, Epigenetic results showed
pendimethalin could cause chromosome damage and
tumor development as a result of expression level
changes of DNA methyltransferase.
2,4-D
https://www.nrdc.org/stories/24-d-most-dangerous-pesticide-youve-never-heard
Researchers have observed apparent links between
exposure to 2,4-D and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (a
blood cancer) and sarcoma (a soft-tissue cancer).
Laboratory studies suggest that 2,4-D can impede
the normal action of estrogen, androgen, and most
conclusively, thyroid hormones.
https://usrtk.org/pesticides/2-4-d-health-concerns/
Both glyphosate and 2,4-D have been linked to
cancer and other health problems, and there is
little known about the synergistic toxicity of
these chemicals. Scientific studies link 2,4-D to
certain types of cancer, birth defects,
immuno-suppression and other health impacts in
highly exposed populations including farmers, farm
workers and farming communities.
https://www.asmalldoseoftoxicology.org/24d
2,4-D is reported to have negative effects on the
endocrine system (specifically the thyroid and
gonads) and immune system. Several notable
toxicity experiments have been conducted uniquely
on animals. Important results with possible human
applications include: decreased litter size in
animals drinking 2,4-D contaminated water,
contaminated breast milk in 2,4-D-contaminated
mothers (in both rats and goats), and effects on
neurotransmitters, brain size, and development of
neural connections in lab animals (CDC NIOSH,
2005).
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/09/toxic-herbicide-exposure-study-2-4-d
Exposure to high levels of 2,4-D, an ingredient of
Agent Orange used against civilians during the
Vietnam war, has been linked to cancers including
leukemia in children, birth defects and
reproductive problems among other health issues.
Paraquat
https://www.healthline.com/health/paraquat-poisoning#symptoms
Even ingesting small to medium amounts of paraquat
can lead to fatal poisoning. Within several weeks to
several days after ingesting a small amount, a person
may experience lung scarring and the failure of
multiple organs. This includes heart failure,
respiratory failure, kidney failure, and liver
failure.
https://www.consumernotice.org/environmental/pesticides/paraquat/
Paraquat, also known as paraquat dichloride, is a
highly toxic herbicide used to control weeds and
grass. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
restricted paraquat use to commercially licensed
users. Paraquat poisoning through ingestion,
inhalation or skin exposure can lead to serious health
problems, including death.
https://www.drugwatcher.org/paraquat-exposure/
Parkinson’s disease: The link between paraquat
and Parkinson’s disease have been investigated
for decades, and studies have suggested a connection
between the two. Paraquat causes oxidative stress, a
process that damages cells and kills them. When the
chemical reaches the region of the brain called
substantia nigra, it does the same to the neuron cells
that release dopamine. Without healthy levels of
dopamine, brain function is impaired, thus leading to
Parkinson’s disease
