Glyphosate Will Soon Be Banned In Thailand

Introduction

On Tuesday, Thailand's National Hazardous Substances Committee approved a ban on three highly controversial pesticides: glyphosate, paraquat, and chlorpyrifos, which will be effective from December 1, 2019.

The ban is the result of a push from the country’s agricultural industry. Glyphosate, the active ingredient of weedkiller Roundup was declared as a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s International Agency in March 2015. Exposure to glyphosate is linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and its various subtypes.

Austria was the first nation in the European Union to ban glyphosate. Glyphosate is banned in Vietnam, and the chemical is restricted in the Czech Republic, Italy, and the Netherlands. France condemned to remove glyphosate by 2023.

Roundup lawsuits are consolidated under federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of California, presided by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria.
