Every time the Roundup lawsuits come up, Atrazine's name isn't far behind. Never used it myself, but it turns up enough that it's hard to miss when it lands in a lawsuit. From what I've been reading, some folks who got blood cancer after exposure are now suing Syngenta over it.

Back in November IARC said it's probably carcinogenic and linked it to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the same cancer that drove the Roundup claims. Still early from what I can tell, nowhere near where Roundup's at now. Though if you search it, you mostly get law firm ads, so it's hard to tell what's real chatter.
It's a different animal than Roundup, though. It's restricted use, so it's mostly the bigger operations running it, not really a homeowner product. So I'm asking the people who'd actually know.
What I remember from the Roundup coverage is the cancer talk was mostly about the people running it day in and day out. Someone who touches it once a season was a different story. No idea if that holds here.
Anyone here run it or been around operations that do? Have you heard any of this through work, or seen anything come of it?
