[Pharmwaste] Research on Atrazine and Endocrine Disruption, Cancer

[Tenace, Laurie]

Conclusions from Abstract: The current findings are consistent with
atrazine's endocrine disrupting effects in fish, amphibians, and reptiles,
the induction of mammary and prostate cancer in laboratory rodents, and
correlations between atrazine and similar reproductive cancers in humans.
This study highlights the importance of atrazine as a risk factor in
endocrine disruption in wildlife and reproductive cancers in laboratory
rodents and humans.
