Waste Pit At Herbicide Manufacturing Plant

Luling, Louisiana, USA

This is the main manufacturing site of the World’s most widely used herbicide. Though it was previously advertised as harmless to humans, new evidence indicates that it is dangerous, both to people and any plants and animals that are exposed to it. This herbicide is used in conjunction with seeds that have been genetically modified to tolerate its application, which means that anyone consuming these crops is eating a genetically modified plant, and whatever residue of the pesticide remains. In addition, this herbicide is increasingly being applied, especially to wheat and grains, just prior to harvest, especially in wet areas, to speed the harvesting.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans”.

In August 2018, a court in San Francisco, presented with scientific evidence and company documents, found that this glyphosate manufacturer was liable for the cancer of a California school groundskeeper, and ordered it to pay the man $289,000,000.
The German chemical giant that bought this company in 2018 for $66 Billion, recently put aside $10.9 Billion for expected liability to lawsuits arising from the use of the glyphosate herbicides.

So Many Thanks to SouthWings for flight support!
