Conducted in part by the Centers for Disease Control, scientists studied the effects of eating organic (non-pesticide) food among 23 elementary school children ages 3 to 11. The Natural Resource Defense Council completed an extensive report on the health dangers faced by children who live on a farm. However, malathion can cause many serious health disorders other than death. Body's Defense Weakened University of California-Berkeley These allergens accumulate in the human body for years and negatively affect In this study, researchers investigated the effects of a combination of six common pesticides used in agriculture. View Original Journal Article or Download PDF glyphosate, Obesity Higher in Children with Higher Pesticide Levels, SOURCE: Reviews of Environmental Health, 26(3): 215-9, 2011 High brain cancer rates were found for people living near a cranberry agricultural growing area in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. which would explain the depletion of mature B-cell subpopulations. Of great concern, health effects were seen not just for those just living directly next to the fields, but some studies showed effects up to 1 mile away! Read More. Looking at pesticide use for the lawn and garden resulted in an increased risk of 120% (Odds Ratio=2.2) when the mother had applied pesticides in the yard and 50% higher (Odds Ratio=1.5) when the father had applied pesticides in the yard. The chemical dichlorvos is formed within hours after application of the commonly used mosquito control pesticide dibrom (also referred to as naled). DDT is still found in commercially grown non-organic foods due to its continued use in South America and imports into other countries. Eric Roberts, Paul English, Judith Grether, Galye Windham, www.chem-tox.com/neuroblastoma - neuroblastoma research summaries, Drs. Investigators at King Saud University measured blood levels of the pesticide DDT and its metabolites among 280 Saudi adults - 136 with diabetes and 144 contols who did not have diabetes. Links to Epilepsy, Psychosis, Alzheimers & Parkinsons. Read Summary of Article in Environmental Health News Both are used on millions of acres of crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, corn, soybeans, cotton and fruit. Risk for DD was increased in those near carbamate applications, but no specific vulnerable period was identified. Read More. Corn plant poisoning in pets causes vomiting, depression, anorexia, and hypersalivation. The same trend was also seen with hydrocephalus - 0% for the animals not exposed to CPZ, 6% for animals exposed to 20 mg/kg, 19% for animals exposed to 50 mg/kg, 32% for animals exposed to 75 mg/kg and 100% for the 12 animals exposed to the 100 mg/kg level. Read More. (Metabolites occur after the original pesticide is processed by the liver). Cleft Palate did not occur in any of the 100 offspring not exposed to CPZ. Department of Public Heatlh Sciences (University of Calfornia, Davis) CHEM-TOX COMMENT: Also of significance, the human brain begins growing at over 4,000 cells per second beginning in the 4th week of pregnancy, thereby suggesting this would be a highly vulnerable time period. Pesticides in the Air Weeks After Application View Article Summary in "SCIENCE" Chemicals now being found to damage the blood brain barrier take on new interest as research over the past decade has found defects in blood brain barrier function in people with Psychosis(1), Epilepsy(2), Alzheimers(3) and Parkinson's Disease(4). View original article at - http://www.spandidos-publications.com/ijmm/34/5/1395 Levels of the pesticide in pregnant women living in an agricultural region of Califoria had median urinary levels 2 to 3 times higher at 21.5 and 18.5 micrograms/liter (mcg/l) and 95th percentile values of approximately 1950 mcg/l (Castorina et al., 2010). School of Public Health, Berkeley, California, Children with Diabetes Have Higher Pesticide Levels, SOURCE: Journal of Clinical Toxicology, Vol. In conclusion, the researchers stated, Department of Biology, Concordia University, Montreal, Conada Dr. Eric Richfield, a neurologist who worked on the study, said it may mean that no one will ever be able to predict who is at risk of Parkinson's based on exposure to chemicals. Read More. Neurobiology of Aging, Volume 28(7):977-986, July, 2007 CHEM-TOX COMMENT: This study is of concern as pyrethroid pesticides are commonly used in agriculture and have replaced previously banned organophosphate pesticides. For the pesticide chlorpyrifos (which has been linked to many health disorders affecting the brain and weakening of the immune system), levels were approximately 6 micrograms/liter on conventional foods and then dropped to 2 micrograms per liter after eating organic (a 3-fold reduction). CHEM-TOX COMMENT: Although this study measured risk for only home and lawn use of the chemical, families living in close proximity to farming areas could potentially be exposed to significantly higher levels of the chemical. 2withliving korean But be warythe north holds many dangers, and winter is coming. Chemicals now being found to damage the blood brain barrier take on new interest as research over the past decade has found defects in blood brain barrier function in people with Psychosis (1), Epilepsy (2), Alzheimers (3) and Parkinson's Disease (4). Read More. Both malathion and chlorpyrifos are used extensively in agriculture with chlropyrifos also being used in home pest and termite control prior to 2002. By 1989 it had reached 13.7 per 100,000. Dr. John Peters The cause of these health problems is believed to result from low level pesticide vapors that are present in the air days and sometimes weeks after application on food crops. According to researchers Devesa and Fears at the the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, the incidence rates for NHL have increased at about 3-4% per year (Cancer Research, 1;52(Suppl 19):5432s-5440s, October, 1992). In this current study, the chemical trichlorfon was found to cause a - severe reduction - in brain weight and shape of test animals. When using these numbers to determine increased risk from the pesticides, the researchers found that children with high levels of malathion in their blood had a 4 times greater risk of developing diabetes than children with low levels of malathion. View Journal Article After 1989 it had risen further and is currently at appoximately 20 new cases per 100,000 people (more than 3 times the rate as in 1950). People have died from volcanic blasts. Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that are powerfully destructive. Low level pesticide exposure is believed to be the underlying cause. Researchers suspect that a combination of genetic vulnerability and exposure to something in the environment may be responsible. Copy. We were able to demonstrate that an organic diet provides a dramatic and immediate protective effect against exposures to organophosphorus pesticides that are commonly used in agricultural production.The persistent existence of OP pesticide metabolites in urine during the conventional diet periods raises a concern of the possible chronic exposures to OP pesticides in children. Child exposure can occur from pesticides on the father being inhaled and transferred to the child. Postgraduate Program in Pharmacy of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianopolis, SC, 88040-900, Brazil. Read More. The concentrations of these chemicals were equal to what is typically found in the enviroment of the southwest region of the province of Quebec. While iron is essential for many functions in the body (i.e., liver enzymes and hemoglobin for oxygen carrying red blood cells), too much iron can cause accelerated damage to organs, including the liver and heart. METHODS: The scientists in this study employed a proportional odds mortality design to compare all cases of PD recorded as underlying causes of death (1984-1994) or associated causes of death (1984-1993) occurring in California with all deaths from ischaemic heart disease (ICD-9 410-414) during the same period. 3. www.chem-tox.com/cancerchildren - brain cancer research summaries Read More. Winter temperatures allow for limited drying in the field, and yield loss from lodging, ear drop School of Public Health & Community Medicine Median levels of 2,5-DCP in adults in a non-agricultural setting were 6.6 to 10/4 mcg/l (NHANES 2003-2008). Low level pesticide exposure is believed to be the underlying cause. This study was conducted to investigate the link between exposure to environmental pesticides and childhood obesity. Writing in the Dec. 15 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, Cory-Slechta's team said they studied the effects of a mixture of paraquat and maneb. The dangers of pesticides are typically calculated by looking at only one pesticide at a time. National Institute of Environmental Health, Neuroblastoma Linked to Homes Treated with Pesticides, SOURCE: Epidemiology: 12(1):20-26, January, 2001 some epidemiological studies suggest an association between proximity to agricultural lands and a wide range of associated adverse health outcomes including Some people, however, have only 1/3rd the normal levels of these important enzymes, and therefore, would have higher levels of pesticides in their blood for longer periods of time, thereby resulting in more harm from the chemical.

View Original Journal Article Division for Environmental Toxicology, Kjeller, Norway, Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes 11x Higher in Pesticide Applicators, SOURCE: Journal of Agromedicine, Volume 19(4): 417-26, 2014 State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology One of the largest studies to date has found that pesticide use around the home can more than double the chance of a child developing neuroblastoma. Slotin Along with the doubling of ADHD for children testing positive for the pesticide, every 10-fold increase in 3-PBA resulted in an additional 50% increase in hyperactive-impulsive behavior. View Journal Online All of the children in the study were 10 years of age or younger. Rates for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were more than 6 times higher for children whose mothers were exposed to certain pesticides during a specific time-window in pregnancy. in Urine/Blood I grew up on a Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute. Read More. 83% of the pesticide exposed people were found to have autoantibodies in their blood, in comparison to only 15% for non-pesticide exposed control group. Read More. Read More. This results in high exposure for families living near agriculture. Lymph nodes contain high concentrations of immune system cells which can attack and eliminate bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. (Astrocytomas are in the family of "glioma" cancers which begin in the glial tissue (glial tissue are the cells which hold the other brain cells together). Of great concern (because of the rapid rise of diabetes, over the past 20 years), 21 studies presented at the 2015 European Association for the Study of Diabetes show pesticides increase the risk of diabetes by 61%. The findings, published in the journal PNAS Nexus, also showed that child blood levels increased with piston-engine aircraft traffic and quantities of leaded aviation gasoline sold at the airport. 2. It is important to remember, that pesticides are designed with the specific intent to damage biological processes within an organism, which is why even very low levels would be able to cause harm over time. (Chem-Tox Note: Outdoor pesticides are much different from indoor pesticides as they include fungicides and herbicides some of which have been reported to contain dioxin). The blood brain barrier is composed of tight junctions between cells that line the interior blood vessels that feed the brain. The same pattern was seen with the common pesticides chlorpyrifos and malathion. Families living near farms could be in danger from the spraying of pesticides and other chemicals, an official inquiry has concluded. This situation may be further amplified in poorer communities in Africa and South America that receive highly concentrated levels of pesticides from backback spray techniques - Homes here typically do not have "closeable" windows, thereby dramatically increasing exposure to family members. Autoantibodies were found toward smooth muscle, parietal cell, brush border, thyroid gland, myelin, and ANA. (Autoimmune disorders occur when the person's own immune system mistakenly makes antibodies which attack their own body.) The bottom line is that pesticides are designed specifically to kill - and our children are being exposed to small levels of these continuously in food. However, if pesticide levels are higher in children with diabetes, we then begin painting a picture that eating conventionally grown pesticide foods, living near agriculture or using pesticides in the home, may very well be a major contributing factor to diabetes. University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, Miscarriage Rates Higher Near Agriculture, SOURCE: Epidemiology, March 2001 While this report emphasizes the dangers of residential homes close to agriculture, similar health effects could be expected for those working in offices or schools within one mile from agriculture as well. Immediately following each patient's exposure to the pesticide, common complaints included an initial flu-like illness followed by chronic complaints of fatigue, headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, upper and lower respiratory symptoms, joint and muscle pain and gastrointestinal disturbances. This is 2-3 times higher than seen in other developed countries. 86(9):1289-96, 1996 Each child was tested daily for pesticide levels over 15 consecutive days. Whats good and bad about living near a volcano? Duke University Medical Center Investigators surveyed 933 pregnancies identified through hospitals in the Sanfrancisco Bay area, in relation to exposure to the pesticide malathion that was applied aerially to control the Mediterranean fruit fly. Results: Approximately one-third of CHARGE study mothers lived, during pregnancy, within 1.5 km (just under 1 mile) of an agricultural area treated with pesticides. The problem with large scale corn farms is the spraying of atrazine. Atrazine is banned in the EU, but about 76 million pounds are sprayed in the US. Little known disaster about Atrazine is that high levels are found in the water table throughout the US cornbelt. 329 mothers took part in a study to determine if pesticide exposure during pregnancy could result in lowering IQ scores in children. Men who mixed or applied the weed killer 2,4-D experienced a 50% higher rate of the cancer known as Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (also called NHL). The first stage of the blood brain barrier is made from exceptionally "tight-junctions" between cells that line the blood vessels supplying nutrients to the brain. It is important to remember, that pesticides are designed with the specific intent to damage biological processes within an organism, which is why even very low levels would be able to cause harm over time. This situation may be further amplified in poorer communities in Africa and South America that receive highly concentrated levels of pesticides from backback spray techniques - Homes here typically do not have "closeable" windows, thereby dramatically increasing exposure to family members. Laboratory of Pesticide Toxicology Brown University of Public Health, Providence, RI, SOURCE: Environmental Health Perspectives, Volume 119(8) August 2011 Rashes. These new findings raise the next logical question - Would removing someone with a neurological condition from an agricultural pesticide environment result in restored blood brain barrier function, and thereby, experience improvement in mental function that naturally occurs with a properly functioning blood brain barrier? Department of Epidemiology Unfortunately, the tight-junctions can become "lose" after exposure to some chemicals in the environment - thereby, allowing toxic chemicals into the brain cell network resulting in elevated damage to the brain. View Original Journal Article Although the pesticide was banned for home and yard pest control in the United States in 2000, it is still used extensively in agriculture and is routinely a contaminant in non-organic food sources and can be found in homes treated with the pesticide in the 80's and 90's. The powerful neurotoxic nature of the pesticide was further emphasized when the scientists found that these brain abnormalities did not occur when animals were exposed to the other pesticides tested - soman - TOCP and ethyl-trichlorfon. :) Wiki User. Volcanic eruptions can result in additional threats to health, such as floods, mudslides, power outages, drinking water contamination, and wildfires. View Original Journal Article The weed killer (herbicide) known as Glyphosate (also called Round-Up) is the most popular herbicide used in agriculture world-wide. To determine if the pesticides were damaging the blood brain barrier, animals were injected with a radioactive tracer. Some pesticides react with sunlight (in a process known as photolysis) to form new chemicals that are more toxic than the original. Department of Preventive Medicine Durham, North Carolina, Home Pesticides Increase Risk of Leukemia in Children, SOURCE: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 79(1) July 1987 Read More. What is interesting about this study is that neither chemical alone works to create the distinctive pattern of brain damage. Its job it to break-down pesticides in the blood into a less-toxic form. The purpose of the study was to determine how the pesticide combination affected the immune systems of two amphibian frog species. Read More. but diabetic children had levels of .24. Some people, however, have only 1/3rd the normal levels of these important enzymes, and therefore, would have higher levels of pesticides in their blood for longer periods of time, thereby resulting in more harm from the chemical. 2005 "The presence of several different types of autoantibodies, e.g., antimyelin, antismooth muscle, anti brush boarder, and antimicrosomal, indicates that generalized tissue injury has occurred. Job occupations included farmers, agricultural workers, agricultural machinery drivers, gardeners and foresters. Of great concern, the effects on the liver occurred at very small levels of pesticide exposure which did not cause liver cell death or changes in liver cell appearance. Health children had chlorpyrifos levels of .02, 5(1):S19-S24, 1994). For example, men who were exposed to the weed killer 20 or more days per year had over a 3 times greater chance of developing the disease. Of significant interest, 15 day old rat pups had less barrier damage than the 10 day old rat pups. A study of 3,827 Florida pesticide applicators employed for 20 or more years found they had nearly 3 times the risk for developing lung cancer. This was one of several questions researchers at Mansoura University Childrens Hospital in Egypt wanted to answer. Although the research described here is not directly linked to living near agriculture, it does show how common pesticides can cause microcephaly. So creepy. The study was started with 75 young children, all under age 10, who were recently diagnosed with type-1 diabetes. The photograph above shows the brain of a normal guinea (left) and the brain of guinea pig that was exposed to the chemical trichlorfon found in the mosquito control pesticide dibrom (right). Results showed that mothers whose pesticide levels were in the lowest 25% of all mothers tested had children whose IQ scores were 7 points higher than children whose mothers were in the highest quartile (top 25%) of pesticide exposure. Wilms' tumor is a type of kidney cancer that is the fourth most common childhood cancer, accounting for approximately 6% of all malignancies diagnosed before 15 years of age). Advertisement - story continues below. One of the largest collaborative efforts among 7 Universities and medical facilities worked together to determine what extent pesticide use in the home could increase child neuroblastoma rates. Results showed that the risk of having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder was 7.6 times higher than normal if certain conditions were present. Boston University School of Public Health, Autism (ASD) 7x Higher in Children Living Near Agriculture, SOURCE: Environmental Health Perspectives, 115(10): 1482-1489, 2007 RESULTS: Mortality from PD as the underlying cause of death was higher in agricultural pesticide-use counties than in non-use counties. When the corn was high, it felt somewhat claustrophobic out there. Staining occurs when the blood brain barrier is not working properly (as a properly working barrier would block the dye from entering the brain). To determine if the weed killer could damage the blood brain barrier, rats were given single doses of MCPA at 100, 250, and 500 mg/kg at various intervals before sacrifice. The study on the effects of cyproconazole (lets call it CPZ for simplicity) was headed by Dr. K. Machera, at the Laboratory of Pesticide Toxicology in Athens, Greece. Leukaemia Research Fund, Center for Clinical Epidemiology, University of Leeds, Brain's Defense Damaged from Agriculture Weed Killer 4. This included atrazine, metribuzine, endosulfan, lindane, aldicarb and dieldren. A dose-response was also found showing that sprayers reporting the highest number of hours spraying pesticides had diabetes and prediabetes rates 14x greater. In conclusion, the scientists stated: Dina M. Schreinemachers When we started thinking about what gets Babies born to families living near wheat growing agricultural areas using chemical pesticides were found to have a 65% greater risk of having birth defects related to the circulatory/respiratory system. As seen in two studies below, the blood brain barrier defense can be weakened or damaged by pesticides. With results such as this in test animals, it would certainly be worthwhile to investigate the incidence of these conditions among people living in close proximity to agricultural areas. Some pesticides react with sunlight (in a process known as photolysis) to form new chemicals that are more toxic than the original. Others have been found to react with sunlight, and through a process known as photolysis, form even more toxic compounds. This included: Further support for these findings is shown by the fact that the risk of ASD increased with the pounds of pesticide used and decreased with distance from the treated fields. Department of Public Health 50% of the pesticide exposed people were also found to have two or more autoantibodies in comparison to only 4% for the non-exposed group. Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Oslo, Norway Moreover, these identical observations have been made in additional chlorpyrifos patients (research in progress). More rodents: There are more rodents near farms and cornfields, which includes rats and mice that will often get into Bad for Neurobiology of Aging, Volume 28(7):977-986, July, 2007 Wind, snow and ice are a significant possibility for most growers in the Corn Belt, as are foraging wildlife such as The pros of living next to a cornfield include more space and privacy with cleaner air, and where youll enjoy less noise and exhaust pollution from traffic. Whereas the cons of living next to a cornfield include risks of pesticide drift and associated health problems plus living with more rodents. Parkinson's disease, which affects an estimated 500,000 people in the United States alone, is a progressive and incurable disease that involves the destruction of brain cells that produce dopamine, an important message-carrying chemical linked with movement. Blood samples were taken from 75 children with diabetes and 35 control children who did not have diabetes. These tight-junctions prevent larger toxic molecules from squeezing-through and entering the brain cell network. Prickling and/or burning skin. Read More. On certain floodplains there is a risk of the house being washed away. Brain's Defense Weakened There are 550 new cases in the United States each year, with an annual incidence rate of 9.2 cases per million children under 15 years of age. University of Southern California, Pesticide Inhalation Associated with Brain and Lung Cancer, SOURCE: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 71(1), July 1983 The researchers were investigating for any abnormalities in immune system function. Mice exposed to the weed killer paraquat and the fungicide maneb showed clear signs of Parkinson's, a progressive and incurable brain illness, according to Deborah Cory-Slechta and colleagues at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Epilepsia, Volume 47(11):1761-1774, November, 2006 The findings add to a growing body of evidence that exposure to chemicals such as pesticides may at least contribute to the brain damage seen in Parkinson's. Beneficial Proximity to organophosphates at some point during gestation was associated with a 60% higher risk for ASD, higher for third-trimester exposures (OR = 2.0; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.6), and second-trimester chlorpyrifos applications (OR = 3.3; 95% CI: 1.5, 7.4). Dr. Machera did not state if these chemicals were used on residential lawns as an anti-fungal agent. In this 2013 study, published in the journal Entropy, by Anthony Samsel and Dr. Stephanie Seneff (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), the researchers show how the chemical glyphosate is linked to increasing autism rates by causing changes in body chemistry that affect important enzyme and biological systems critical in brain development and maintaining brain integrity.
