近日,世界卫生组织(WHO)裁定除草剂2,4-D对人类有潜在致癌作用。当前抗除草剂的转基因玉米和大豆主要是抗2,4-D和草甘膦。而在此前,草甘膦也已经被认定是一种潜在的致癌物质。由于转基因作物被大面积种植,这两类除草剂的使用量与日俱增。WHO的国际癌症研究机构发现2,4-D抑制动物免疫系统,引起氧化应激反 Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) ruled that herbicide 2,4-D has potential carcinogenic effects on humans. The current herbicide resistant maize and soybeans are mainly resistant to 2,4-D and glyphosate. Prior to this, glyphosate has also been identified as a potential carcinogen. Due to the large area of ​​genetically modified crops, the use of these two types of herbicides has been increasing. WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has found that 2,4-D inhibits animal immune system and causes oxidative stress
