The Environmental Protection Agency has determined glyphosate, atrazine and simazine are likely to adversely affect certain species under the Endangered Species Act and their habitats. To be specific, the agency claims nearly 1,700 species and 800 habitats could be impacted. EPA is now delivering its report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service so they can develop their own findings. The American Soybean Association and American Farm Bureau Federation filed a joint statement, saying the EPA failed to use “the best available science” when evaluating these crop protection products.
