Atrazine, an endocrine-disrupting herbicide banned in Europe, is widely used in the U.S.

Atrazine has been banned in Europe since 2004, but it is the second-most widely used weed killer in the United States. A significant body of research suggests it is an endocrine disruptor. It is also linked to various cancers, premature birth and more.
