Description
Glyphosate is the world's most used weed killer, yet how much of it reaches pregnant people living near farms is poorly known. Cynthia Curl and co-authors follow forty pregnant people in southern Idaho through 2021 in this 2023 study, testing their urine about every two weeks.
For those living close to fields, the chemical showed up more often and at higher levels during spray season than outside it. For those living farther away, levels stayed flat across the year. Outside spray season, near and far homes looked the same. The pattern points to farm spraying as a real source of exposure for nearby residents.
