Commenting on USGS’s findings, Pete Riley of United Kingdom-based GM Freeze
said: “The Mississippi Basin has been subjected to glyphosate application on a
massive scale for the last 15 years. As a result of this giant uncontrolled
experiment, the USGS is now finding that glyphosate and its breakdown products
are turning up in rainfall and rivers, and not, as Monsanto would have us think,
being safely locked up in the soil. The mounting evidence on the safety and
movement of glyphosate now merits a ban on GM herbicide tolerant
crops.”
