• What is the evidence that atrazine affects the risk of mammary cancer in experimental animal studies?
  • Atrazine was fed at high levels over long periods of time to female rats in several studies. Atrazine caused a higher number or earlier appearance of mammary tumors in one type of female rat.
  • But not all types of laboratory animals were affected.
  • In other strains of rats and in mice, atrazine treatment did not induce breast tumors.
