Researchers find DDT levels in Canadian trout up to 10 times the safety limit, even though the pesticide was last used in the region more than 50 years ago! “It’s abundant in fish and lake mud throughout much of the province at shockingly high levels... This mess can’t be cleaned up. DDT can persist in lake mud for decades to centuries and then cycle in the food web.” (#neonics and #glyphosate are the new DDT in terms of widespread use & potential long-term effects) theguardian.com/environment/20

'Parkinson's is a man-made disease.' Superb article on a brilliant and courageous clinician and researcher, and why our regulatory system is failing to protect us. "Parkinson's was a v rare disease until the early 20th century," says Bas Bloem, a globally recognized expert on the care and cause of Parkinson's disease. 'Then with the agricultural revolution, chemical revolution, and the explosion of pesticide use, rates started to climb.' #paraquat #glyphosate observatoiredeleurope.com/park

L'Observatoire de l'Europe · ‘Parkinson’s is a man-made disease’In the summer of 1982, seven heroin users were admitted to a California hospital paralyzed and mute. They were in their 20s, otherwise healthy — until a synthetic drug they had manufactured in makeshift labs left them frozen inside their own bodies. Doctors quickly discovered the cause: MPTP, a neurotoxic contaminant that had destroyed a ... Lire plus

En Isère, la famille Grataloup sereine face à Bayer, qui réfute toute responsabilité

L’audience qui s’est tenue jeudi 3 avril au tribunal de Vienne (Isère) a donné à entendre les deux parties dans l’affaire qui oppose la famille de Théo Grataloup, né avec de lourds handicaps, au fabricant de #glyphosate. Le jugement sera rendu en délibéré le 31 juillet.

De toute la matinée, il n’a pas jeté un œil à Théo.
Si "Bayer est sensible à sa souffrance, qui est évidente", l’avocat du fabricant de #glyphosate, Jean-Daniel Bretzner, s’est surtout échiné à démontrer que la firme n’avait rien à voir avec les handicaps de l’adolescent, et que le tribunal de Vienne, devant lequel il plaidait, n’avait même pas à statuer sur cette affaire.

«On se battra jusqu’au bout» : Après 7 ans de bataille judiciaire, la famille Grataloup a rendez-vous ce jeudi 3 avril au tribunal de Vienne pour son procès contre #bayermonsanto accusé d’être responsable des graves malformations de Théo, exposé in utero au #glyphosate francebleu.fr/infos/faits-dive

Le jugement sera rendu en délibéré le 31 juillet.

Obtenir réparation. Mais pas seulement.
"Si le comportement fautif de Bayer est démontré, cela pourrait aider d’autres victimes dans leurs démarches judiciaires, comme les riverains touchés par les épandages dans les champs", m'a dit Sabine Grataloup à la veille d’un procès qui s’ouvre demain à Vienne, en Isère.
Elle assigne #Bayer (ex #Monsanto) en justice pour avoir été exposée, pendant sa grossesse, au #glyphosate. Son enfant est né avec de graves malformations.

$2 billion Roundup verdict drives down Bayer shares as company seeks legal immunity. The latest jury verdict to rock #Bayer investors “shows the community is not going to tolerate … these types of backroom dealings … manipulating science and scientific journals.” #Monsanto #glyphosate thenewlede.org/2025/03/2-billi

The New Lede · $2 billion Roundup jury verdict drives down Bayer shares as company seeks law changeBy Carey Gillam A Georgia jury verdict ordering Bayer AG to pay over $2 billion to a man suffering from cancer he blamed on his use of Roundup weed killer comes as that state’s governor weighs whether to sign into law a measure that would effectively bar such cases from going to trial in the future. Friday’s verdict rocked Bayer investors, driving down the German company’s shares more than 8% on Monday. The Georgia jury found that Bayer, which bought Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, failed to properly warn users of years of scientific evidence that exposure to Roundup could cause cancer, awarding plaintiff John Barnes $2 billion in punitive damages and $65 million in compensatory damages. Barnes developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after using Roundup to spray weeds around his home in Dalton, Georgia, from 1999 to 2019, purchasing the herbicide from Home Depot stores. He was diagnosed with NHL in 2020 and has endured multiple rounds of treatment and one recurrence of the disease, though he currently is in remission, according to his lawyers. He is one of more than 100,000 people in the US who have filed lawsuits alleging they developed cancer due to use of Monsanto’s weed killers. Barnes, a father, grandfather and former Marine, testified in the three-week trial that the disease and treatment have taken a lasting toll. “With this cancer … there is no cure,” Barnes testified. He cried as he described persistent fear that his time with his family may be limited. “Every day is worry, not just for me but my family.”
