 On Roundup | By Umbra Fisk | Grist Magazine | Ask Umbra | 18 Aug 2003
Roundup is relatively safe -- it's not as bad as, say, depleted uranium -- but that doesn't mean you want to go pouring it on your pancakes.
Glyphosate and/or Roundup are harmful to aquatic insects, have widely varying half-lives in soil, and have been associated with damage to the nervous system, reproductive system, respiratory system, and skin.
Although Roundup will most likely bind to the soil particles where it is applied and stay there for months or years, it can also migrate from those particles to adjacent soil or water, where it will damage seeds, worms, ladybugs, etc. Depending on your method of application, it may await you in your salad.
