No surprise to me. I knew this stuff was bad back in the 1990s, it came out in the mid 1970s but I did not get into growing my own vegies until the 1990s. It's like a forever chemical. Pouring Roundup down a drain ends up contaminating the soil and underground water. Even wastewater treatment plants cannot neutralize such chemicals, so they will end up seeping into the ground. Eventually, they will end up back in your home because we get our freshwater mostly from rivers and boreholes.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I must ask: Who pays a for an expensive container of RoundUp to use & then pours it down a drain??!!
It keeps forever, fully potent, in my unheated garden shed.

Didn't the US military use huge quantities in Vietnam & Cambodia? Imagine the levels in the people of those countries?

Not news to me. Not news that the CDC has taken little notice.
