Three pesticides, including a commonly-used weedkiller, were probably carcinogenic, says the UN's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

IARC classified the herbicide glyphosate and insecticides malathion and diazinon as "probably carcinogenic" on the basis of "limited evidence" of cancer among humans, while insecticides tetrachlorvinphos and parathion were "possibly carcinogenic" in the light of "convincing evidence" from lab animals.
