Dutch approval of #Glyphosate pesticide was influenced by controversial U.S. expert
The Dutch pesticide authority, CTGB, based its statement that herbicide glyphosate is not carcinogenic partly on publications by a statistician, Kenny Crump. The American has previously worked for asbestos, diesel, and lead industries, according to an investigation by Zembla. This determination led to glyphosate being approved for use again in November 2023 for another 10-year period.
