Action Alert: Submit Comment to EPA’s Glyphosate Registration Review Docket

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting comments regarding its “Glyphosate Open Literature Search to Inform Human Health Risk Assessment” for the agency’s ongoing evaluation of glyphosate’s health risks, a process required by law to occur every 15 years. The current assessment is scheduled for completion late in 2026 and, although no specific date has been established, the deadline for comments is September 24.

The following studies are not currently included in the EPA’s assessment list and we need to make sure they are added before the September 24 deadline:

1. Leonardo Trassande et al., “Associations of glyphosate exposure in pregnancy with preterm birth: a longitudinal birth cohort study,” Environmental Pollution, Nov. 1, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2026.128775
2. Y.H. Chiu, M.C. Afeiche, A.J. Gaskins, P.L. Williams, J.C. Petrozza, C. Tanrikut, R. Hauser, J.E. Chavarro, “Fruit and vegetable intake and their pesticide residues in relation to semen quality among men from a fertility clinic,” Human Reproduction, June 2015, https://doi.org/10.1093/humrep/dev064
3. Maryam Kazemi, Yu-Han Chiu, Makiko Mitsunami, Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón, Russ Hauser, Irene Souter, Jorge Chavarro, “Associations of Pesticide Residue Exposure from Fruit and Vegetable Intake with Ovarian Reserve,” The Journal of Nutrition, March 2025, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.12.028

Please include one or more of these studies when making your comment to the EPA. To make a comment, go to the Regulations.gov website and use the dark blue comment button in the upper left.

Remember, the deadline for comments is next Thursday, September 24, so we need to act today!
