- 1Report: Herbicide contaminates quarter of US continental rivers●Hormone-disrupting herbicide contaminating 25% of continental US rivers, report finds
A new report finds that a hormone-disrupting herbicide has contaminated roughly 25% of rivers across the continental United States. The findings raise concerns about water quality, ecosystem health, and potential risks to wildlife and humans exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals through waterways. Environmental groups are expected to push for tighter regulation of agricultural runoff in response to the report's conclusions.
