GM Contamination Register 2007

This is the third report from the online GM Contamination Register(http://www.gmcontaminationregister.org). It reviews reported cases of contamination and illegal plantings and releases of GM (genetically modified) organisms since GM crops were first grown commercially on a large scale in 1996. This compilation likely represents a fraction of the actual cases of GM contamination that have taken place, for many cases either cannot be detected or are not revealed to the public. Despite widespread concern about negative impacts on the environment and possible risks for human health, there is still no global monitoring system for GM contamination.
