Possible carcinogenicity of Glyphosate triggers public outcry for bans
On March 17, 2015, experts from 11 countries met at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France to assess the carcinogenicity 5 organophosphate pesticides tetrachlorvinphos, parathion, malathion, diazinon, and glyphosate.
The evidence in human cancer sites is Limited to (nonHodgkin lymphoma) and in animals is Sufficient.

Most of the cases of nonHodgkin lymphoma are in agricultural workers.
March 20, 2015 IARC Monographs Volume 112: evaluation of five organophosphate insecticides and herbicides was published. http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/iarcnews/pdf/MonographVolume112.pdf
In a paper that describes results from nearly three decades worth of epidemiologic research on the relationship between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and occupational exposure to agricultural pesticide active ingredients and chemical groups. Despite compelling evidence that nonHodgkin lymphoma is associated with certain chemicals, this review indicates the need for investigations of a larger variety of pesticides in more geographic areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which, despite producing a large portion of the world’s agriculture, were missing in the literature that were reviewed.

Pesticide Toxicity
Acute Toxcity and Chronic Acute toxicity which typically happens withing 24 hours after exposure. The changes of this happening with most modern pesticide products that have a caution label is slim to non except in accidental drinking of it by children.
The danger in ignoring the long term exposure toxicity risks is the most dangerous. Because theses studies can take 20 to 30 years.
The biggest danger of all is the application of pesticides by untrained, uneducated, unlicensed uncertified applicators.
