Drinking Atrazine

Syngenta’s pesticide atrazine is so widely used that it is found in nearly all our drinking water, even after being banned in Europe.
Science shows:
  • Atrazine is an endocrine disruptor, which means that even at very low levels, exposure to this chemical has outsize effects on the delicate hormonal signalling systems that govern so many of our bodily systems;
  • Atrazine is linked to reproductive harms, including infertility, abnormal menstrual cycles and birth defects;
  • Atrazine chemically castrates male frogs.
