The short documentary 'Parkinson tĂłxico' (in Spanish, but you can add translated subtitles) reveals the connection between pesticides and Parkinson. It is part of a campaign to recognize pesticide-derived Parkinson, one of worlds quickest growing neurodegenerative diseases, as a workplace hazard for farmers and fieldworkers (and of course, to reduce pesticide use).

Science - Citizen-led study finds banned pesticides in children in western France

Traces of pesticides, some of which were banned decades ago, have been found in the hair and urine of dozens of children living near the Aunis plain, an agricultural area located in western France. The findings were showcased by a citizen-led initiative after a local hospital sounded the alarm over a spike in the number of pediatric cancers. FRANCE 24's Julia Sieger tells us more.

UniversitĂ© de Fribourg : le taux de TFA dans le vin monte en flĂšche depuis 2000 — jusqu'Ă  300 ”g/l. MĂȘme les vins bio sont touchĂ©s via la pluie et les sols. 42 des 46 Ă©chantillons d'eau potable allemands : PFAS positifs. L'UBA allemand classe le TFA comme reprotoxique : « peut nuire Ă  l'enfant Ă  naĂźtre. » Une fois dans le sol — pour toujours.

TFA im Interreg-Projekt ReactiveCity — Pharmazeutische und Medizinische Chemie

University of Freiburg: TFA levels in wine rising steeply since 2000 — peak values above 300 ”g/l. Even organic wines affected, as TFA travels via rain and soil. 42 of 46 German drinking water samples PFAS-positive. Germany's UBA classifies TFA as reproductively toxic: "may harm the unborn child." Once in the soil — forever.

Nouvelle Ă©tude dans Nature Health (avril 2026, Institut Pasteur/IRD) : le risque de cancer est 150 % plus Ă©levĂ© dans les zones Ă  forte exposition aux pesticides. L'effet cocktail est central — mĂȘme des substances « sĂ»res » deviennent dangereuses en mĂ©lange. En Allemagne, 11,5 % des substances approuvĂ©es sont des PFAS. L'UE renouvelle les autorisations.

Mapping pesticide mixtures to cancer risk at the country scale with spatial exposomics - Nature Health

Using an integrative spatial Bayesian framework that merges high-resolution environmental pesticide risk modelling with comprehensive cancer registry data, this analysis reveals spatial patterns of pesticide exposure and liver tissue-derived molecular signatures across Peru, establishing links between pesticide usage and cancer insurgence at the national scale.

New study in Nature Health (April 2026, Institut Pasteur/IRD): Cancer risk is 150% higher in regions with intense pesticide exposure. Key factor: the cocktail effect — mixtures of pesticides, even "safe" ones, drive the risk. In Germany, 11.5% of approved pesticide substances are PFAS forever chemicals. The DUH is suing. The EU keeps renewing approvals.

Trump fait asperger les forĂȘts amĂ©ricaines de Roundup. Objectif : croissance du bois. CoĂ»t : sol, eau, santĂ©. En fĂ©vrier 2026, il a dĂ©clarĂ© le glyphosate "sĂ©curitĂ© nationale" — protĂ©geant Bayer/Monsanto des poursuites. L'OMS : "probablement cancĂ©rigĂšne." MĂȘme son mouvement MAHA est choquĂ©.

“We Are Bombarding America’s Forests with Roundup”: Despite Cancer Fear, Trump Admin Pushes Herbicide

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case that could determine whether thousands of cancer patients can keep suing the manufacturers of the popular weed killer glyphosate, known as Roundup. Critics of Roundup have long alleged a link between the herbicide and cancer. It was developed by Monsanto, which was bought by Bayer in 2018. Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting recently released a major investigation by Nate Halverson that looks at how the U.S. Forest Service has been rapidly expanding its use of Roundup despite concerns about its safety. “The majority of glyphosate is still used in agriculture, but 
 we were able to show that the fastest-growing use is actually now for forestry,” says Halverson.

Democracy Now!
Trump is spraying US forests with Roundup. Goal: faster timber growth. Cost: soil ecosystems, water quality, human health. In Feb 2026 he declared glyphosate "national security" — shielding Bayer/Monsanto from lawsuits. 67,000 cases pending. WHO classifies it as "probably carcinogenic." Even his MAHA movement is outraged. Profit over health. Again.

Pourquoi le prix de l’eau va-t-il augmenter Ă  Caen et dans 101 communes ?

À Caen et dans 101 communes, la qualitĂ© de l’eau potable n’est pas optimale. Le syndicat Eau du bassin caennais prĂ©voit l’installation d’usines de traitement d’ici Ă  2039.
