Description
Camila Baldin and a large team report a 2026 field study of soybean farmers in southern Brazil who work with the weed killer 2,4-D. The group measured signs of liver strain, cell stress, and DNA-linked harm in exposed farmers and compared them with organic farmers who did not use the chemical.
Urine tests found the weed killer in most exposed farmers and in a quarter of the comparison group. Blood tests showed more signs of cell stress and shorter telomeres, the caps at the ends of chromosomes, in exposed farmers. Common liver enzymes did not differ, yet the stress pattern and poor use of protective gear point to a need for close health checks.
