23-31 CHEM-TOX COMMENTS: Of significant concern regarding 2,4-D, it contains the chemical Dioxin (TCDD) as a contaminant. Click link to view study or scroll down to view all research - VIEW SPANISH VERSION, Birth Defects Higher in Babies Born Near Agriculture, SOURCE: Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol. School of Public Health & Community Medicine Pro-inflammatory IL-6 (interleukin-6) was also significantly elevated in farmers compared to controls. For example, if pesticide levels were the same in both groups, it suggests that pesticides do not harm the body in a way that increases diabetes. The dangers of pesticides are typically calculated by looking at only one pesticide at a time. 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). University of Sourthern California, Los Angeles, SOURCE: Natural Resource Defense Council Report Adult rats showed no evidence of blood brain barrier damage whatsoever. The human brain also has a defense known as the blood brain barrier. Each child was tested daily for pesticide levels over 15 consecutive days. These allergens accumulate in the human body for years and negatively affect Center for Occupational and Environmental Health Scientists say this time period correlates with the brain growth spurt period for the animal. View Original Journal Article These tight-junctions prevent larger toxic molecules from squeezing-through and entering the brain cell network. The same study also showed the pesticide applicators had twice the risk for brain cancer. Autism has been shown to occur more frequently among children living near agriculture (two reports at the top of this page). 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. Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that are powerfully destructive. In a highly-critical report, the Royal Therefore, chidren have pesticides remain in their blood for longer periods and at higher levels than adults. These studies demonstrate the definite potential for pesticides in the triazole family to increase the risk of lower birthweight, lower body length, as well as strongly increasing the risk of cleft palate and hydrocephalus. At current trends, Dr. Seneff, predicts a 50% autism rate by 2025. Children under age 1 have a more positive prognosis. Results showed that living within 2600 feet of the cranberry growing area resulted in twice the risk for all brain cancers and nearly a 7-fold increased risk for a type of brain cancer known as astrocytoma. After approximately 24 hours, no evidence of blue dye could be observed. Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA This included the head-lice and farming pesticide lindane, the farming/food pesticides malathion and chlorpyrifos and also the farming pesticides DDT and its metabolite DDE. King Saud University Others have been found to react with sunlight, and through a process known as photolysis, form even more toxic compounds. 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. Adults and children inhale these chemicals at far greater concentrations than people living farther away. Boston University School of Public Health, Autism (ASD) 7x Higher in Children Living Near Agriculture, SOURCE: Environmental Health Perspectives, 115(10): 1482-1489, 2007 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. Advertisement - story continues below. Of significant concern, it has been shown that children experience greater harm from pesticides because of their size and less efficient detoxification pathways. In a study by the Department of Health Science at California State University, 12 individuals, which included a teacher, six housewives, a retail owner, a musician and an engineer, were studied for 1 to 4.5 years after they became ill when their home or place of employment was treated with the pesticide. Below are the results of the tests, and as can be seen, there was a very strong association found between child diabetes and pesticides - suggesting that eating conventionally grown food increases the rate of diabetes in children. The study was started with 75 young children, all under age 10, who were recently diagnosed with type-1 diabetes. 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. 44% of mothers performed agricultural work during pregnancy, while others lived close to an agricultural setting. 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. WebIs living near to farm a bad choice? The strongest evidence we have so far is by Professor Ahlbom and his studies relating to chronice EMF exposure and childhood Leukemia, where it appears that exposure to magnetic fields higher than 400 nT increases the risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control Biomonitoring Summary, 2,5-Dichlorophenol is a likely carcinogen. This entire report has been translated to Spanish which can be viewed HERE. 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. Results were recorded to a database for future reference. These are critical studies that must be conducted by sources without a conflict of interest.

View Original Journal Summary The background statement of this research states exposure to several common agricultural pesticides during pregnancy can induce developmental neurotoxicity in humans, and has been associated with developmental delay and autism. The researchers involved in this study evaluated whether residential proximity to agricultural pesticides during pregnancy was associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or developmental delay (DD) in the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and Environment (CHARGE) study. Patients start out with tremors and can become paralyzed and die. These tight-junctions (when working properly) prevent larger toxic molecules from squeezing-through and entering the brain cell network. Durham, North Carolina, Home Pesticides Increase Risk of Leukemia in Children, SOURCE: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 79(1) July 1987 When looking at musculoskeletal/intergumental anomalies for both sexes in the high-wheat growing counties, there was a 50% increased risk of these types of defects. Brain's Defense Weakened A. Aschengrau, D. Ozonoff, P.Coogan, R. Vezina, T. Heeren The excessive fertilizer from corn farms also runs off into rivers and oceans causing dead zones that are harmful to marine life. 5(1):S19-S24, 1994). Dr. John Peters Norwegian Defense Research Establishment View Original Journal Article (PDF) The most important factor increasing fetal death rate was the timing of pesticide exposure. Unfortunately, allowable levels of pesticide exposure are currently set from research done with healthy adult animals. Thus, chlorpyrifos (Lorsban), as used in pesticide spray, should be examined more closely as a probable immunotoxin. A combination of two commonly used agricultural pesticides, are showing the ability to cause the same pattern of brain damage seen in Parkinson's disease. What is interesting about this study is that neither chemical alone works to create the distinctive pattern of brain damage. 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. Autoimmune Disorders from Chlorpyrofos (Lorsban), SOURCE: Archives of Environmental Health, 48(2):89-93, March/April 1993 The same pattern was also seen for the pesticide malathion. These chemicals are far more toxic than even standard insecticides. Link to Epilepsy, Psychosis, Parkinson's & Alzheimer's, SOURCE: Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology, Vol. Division of General Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, 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. School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, CA, Autism and Developmental Delays Higher in Children Scientists concluded by stating they suspect the nervous system abnormality occurred due to direct damage to DNA at a time when the animals' repair systems are not developed. The study, published in July's 1987 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, studied 123 Los Angeles children with leukemia and 123 children without the malignancy. Department of Pharmacology This is 2-3 times higher than seen in other developed countries. Eating Organic Lowers Blood Pesticides in Children, SOURCE: Environmental Health Perspectives, 114(2): 260-263, Feb 2006 These are immune system white blood cells involved in making antibodies against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Lucknow, India, Parkinson's Disease Higher in Agricultural Areas, SOURCE: Biochem Soc Trans, 29(2):81-4, 2000 Ritz B, Yu F Extrapolating these results to humans, we would then expect younger children to receive far more harm from pesticide exposure than adolescents or adults. University of Rochester School of Medicine, Pesticide VaporsPresent Days/Weeks after Application, Source: Pest Control Technology Magazine, pg. Pesticides in the Air Weeks After Application In phase 3 (days 11 to 15), all children switched back to eating conventional foods grown with pesticides. 4. Read More. Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to OP pesticides, as measured by urinary DAP metabolites in women during pregnancy, is associated with poorer cognitive abilities in children at 7 years of age. 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). Median levels of 2,5-DCP in adults in a non-agricultural setting were 6.6 to 10/4 mcg/l (NHANES 2003-2008). Power lines are one of many sources of electromagnetic fields in our environment. Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences This pesticide is used to kill broadleaf weeds and is used when growing alfalfa, barley, clover, flax, lespedeza, oats, grass, peas, rice, rye, sorghum, trefoil, triticale, and wheat. Department of Epidemiology Another source of DDT in foods comes from a little known fact that the legal pesticide dicofol (routinely used on citrus) contains DDT as an unintended by-product during manufacture. Body's Defense Weakened 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. Duke University Medical Center In 2000, it was banned for indoor use after being linked with a variety of health disorders, however, it is still permitted in agriculture settings. As hepcidin levels increase in the blood, the small intestines react by blocking iron from being re-absorbed back into the body. When results of both of these studies are viewed together, it provides strong support for the importance of switching to a 100% organic diet for the 38% of the U.S. population with pre-diabetes and also for children with newly diagnosed with type-1 diabetes. Dr. K. Machera 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. Wind, snow and ice are a significant possibility for most growers in the Corn Belt, as are foraging wildlife such as Read More. 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. The same pattern was seen with the common pesticides chlorpyrifos and malathion. National Institute of Environmental Health, Neuroblastoma Linked to Homes Treated with Pesticides, SOURCE: Epidemiology: 12(1):20-26, January, 2001 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. Fox also has Parkinson's, and boxer Muhammad Ali has symptoms of the disease. There is now a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico which threatens animals, plants, and whole ecosystems. Read More. Illnesses found to occur at higher As seen in two studies below, the blood brain barrier defense can be weakened or damaged by pesticides. From the perspective of King Corn narrators Ian Cheney and The subjects were found to have an elevated number of CD26 cells and a higher rate of autoimmune problems, compared with two other control groups. The pesticide category believed to be the culprit is known as chlorophenoxy herbicides that contain the chemical 2,4-D. Chlorophenoxy herbicides are used to kill a variety of weeds and are also commonly used by city and county maintenance departments for grass and weed control along roads, canals etc. Having higher levels of pesticides in the blood has now been linked to increasign rates of diabetes. 687 children were tested for urinary levels of the pyrethroid pesticide metabolite called "3-PBA." but diabetes children had a level of 0.54. In some cases, the long-term effects of living near a refinery closely resemble the damage caused by secondhand smoke or living beside a freeway. Its major role is to keep toxic molecules out of the brain cell network. Therefore, diabetes children had 12 times higher levels of this common pesticide. View Original Journal Article Unfortunately, families living near agriculture could receive significantly higher exposure levels depending on size of farming areas and wind direction. Blood samples were taken from 75 children with diabetes and 35 control children who did not have diabetes. Urine tests of mothers were done during week 13 of pregnancy and week 26. Children who live near airports are still being exposed to dangerous levels of lead, warns a new study. This is the conclusion from the following report summarizing over 25 peer reviewed studies over the past 30 years. The human brain is protected from harm by a defense system known as the blood brain barrier. The fetal body weight was significantly less even at the lowest dose of 20 mg/kg. Dr. Machera did not state if these chemicals were used on residential lawns as an anti-fungal agent. Families living near farms could be in danger from the spraying of pesticides and other chemicals, an official inquiry has concluded. No association was found between malathion exposure and spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth retardation, stillbirth, or most categories of congenital abnormalities. Section for Environment, Occupation and Health View Journal Article This included quinalphos (an organophosphate pesticide) - cypermethrin (a pyrethoid pesticide) and the chemical Lindane (an organochlorine pesticide). (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). This was the conclusion of a study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Highlights of the report include the following: Autism - Depression & Alzheimers Linked to Weed Killer, SOURCE: Entropy, 15:1416-1463, April 18, 2013 Along with use in agriculture, these chemicals are the used in school pest control - home pest control and community mosquito control applications from trucks and planes. It could errupt at any time! but diabetic children had levels of .24. paraoxanase) and this level can vary dramatically from one child to the next.. 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. The common pesticide chlorpyrifos (also called dursban or lorsban) was shown to damage the ability of the body to properly control iron levels in the blood. This would suggest that the pesticide could also cause an accelerated worsening of the condition for individuals who already have an inherited form of the disease. Department of Environmental Health Results showed that using pesticides in and around the home resulted in a 60% increased likelihood of children developing the disease (Odds Ratio=1.6). 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! "This is the first study to our knowledge of pesticides and pregnancy in which exposures were in close proximity to the subjects and the verification of pesticide use was objective, not relying on people's memories of what they might have been exposed to," Hertz-Picciotto said. When this occurs, elevated levels of poisons enter the brain resulting in accelerated decline of brain function. But if you Its job it to break-down pesticides in the blood into a less-toxic form. The basis for this environmental remediation affect is corns and other crops tremendous potential to remove carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. According to Dr. Seneff, the autism rate has risen from 1 in 10,000 in 1970 to 1 in 68 in 2012. but children with diabetes malathion blood levels 15 times higher at .54. A corn farmer is someone who owns or rents land on which they grow corn, usually to make a living. After many decades of being pointed to as a source of environmental issues, field crop agriculture is being looked to as one of the solutions to global climate change. Parkinson's Disease Linked to Pesticide Combination, SOURCE: Journal of Neuroscience, 20(24):9207, December 15, 2000 WebGluten, GMOs. WebMany peoples greatest worry when living near a solar farm is the electricity that is coming off of it. 2. The first stage of the study determined the mother's level of pesticide exposure through urine analysis looking for a metabolite called dialkylphosphate (DAP). Low level pesticide exposure is believed to be the underlying cause. Of course, lowering of any of these critical immune defenses would eventually lead to increased risk for future illness, including viral infections. Read More. 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. Lucia Somberg, Craig Wolff Rashes. 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. Read More. Department of Health Science, California State University, Arthritis & Lupus Linked to Agricultural Pesticides, SOURCE: Arthritis Care & Research, February 2011 Healthy children had no measureable levels of the pesticide DDT, The blood brain barrier is composed of tight junctions between cells that line the interior blood vessels that feed the brain. Researchers also stated CD4 T and B cells that process antigens are possibly undergoing proliferative exhaustion. CHEM-TOX COMMENT: Primary exposure routes for organochlorine pesticides is living in homes built before 1980 and consuming non-organic food. Researchers from the Boston University School of Public Health compared the home locations of approximately 1000 cancer patients to the home locations of 1000 patients dying of illnesses not related to cancer. 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. Farmworkers in corn fields are also exposed to pesticides and chemicals that are harmful to human health at a higher rate than other U.S. workers, as testified to the Idaho State Senate in 2020 by Areli Arteaga, a farmworker advocate with the United Farm Workers. The danger of you or your family being washed away in a severe flood is a risk to consider. Illnesses occurring at higher rates for people living close to agriculture include birth defects, brain cancer, autism, infertility, miscarriage, Parkinson's Disease, immune system damage, leukemia, developmental brain damage in children, higher rates of child cancers, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, lupus and diabetes. View Journal Article A type of kidney cancer known as Wilms' tumor occured nearly 60% higher than expected in children whose fathers worked around pesticides. However, malathion can cause many serious health disorders other than death. Organ and limb formation occurs in the developing child between weeks 3 and 8, and therefore, would be more vulnerable to harm. Living In a related study described below, researchers found that switching to organic food resulted in a dramatic drop in malathion levels in children. WebThis means that being exposed to a strong electro-magnetic field has the potential to interfere with the way your body (specifically, your nervous system) works. Cleft Palate did not occur in any of the 100 offspring not exposed to CPZ. Maintaining your property can be challenging. Read More. Staining occurs when the blood brain barrier is not working properly (as a properly working barrier would block the dye from entering the brain). 4. The timing of exposure appeared to be the key factor in determining brain damage. Mercer University School of Medicine Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Oslo, Norway Industrialized corn farms use a lot of water, which is draining groundwater in the middle of the U.S. 109 children (ages 9 months to 6 years) from 75 families were tested for their exposure to pesticides.

View Original Journal Article To determine if the pesticides were damaging the blood brain barrier, animals were injected with a radioactive tracer. They worry that there is too much electricity and it could be harmful to their health, their electronics, the state of their home, and so on. View Original Report View Original Journal Article The image at left shows a lymph node that has become cancerous resulting in uncontrolled growth of lymphatic cells inside the lymph node. Microcephaly is a medical condition in which the brain is considerably smaller than normal, resulting in decreased intelligence and behavior problems. This is the conclusion from the following report summarizing over 25 peer reviewed studies over the past 30 years. Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute. In research to determine the amount of air contamination following application of pesticides, it was found that the levels of the pesticide Dursban drop to one-sixth of its original 1 hour level four days after application. Benaki Phytopathological Institute, Athens, Greece, Intestinal Disorders in Children - Pregnancy & Malathion, SOURCE: Epidemiology, 3(1): 32-39, January, 1992 Neurobiology of Aging, Volume 28(7):977-986, July, 2007 Dursban was previously used as a common indoor and lawn pesticide but because of research finding damage to the immune system, it was banned and is now only allowed in agriculture (under the name Lorsban). For comparison, pesticide levels were measure in 14 reference families who lived more than 1/4 mile from the pesticide treated orchard. Office of Research and Development ", Jack D. Thrasher Ph.D., Roberta Madison, Alan Broughton Jack D. Thrasher Ph.D., Roberta Madison, Alan Broughton which would explain the depletion of mature B-cell subpopulations. Read More. In other words, even very low levels of the pesticide was able to weaken the genes in liver cells controlling hepcidin levels in the blood (without affecting other parts of the cell). Read More. The mice moved around much less than normal and had lower levels of an enzyme known as tyrosine hydroxylase that is used as a measure of the health of the dopamine system. Components that are planted with the gene for corn cause allergies in humans. Results showed farmers had significantly lower levels of lymphocytes known as "B-Cells." Also, current EPA pesticide safety guidelines do not consider what is called subtle neurotoxicity (effects on learning/behavior) - subtle immune system effects (increased autoimmunity - lowering of white blood count - natural killer cell effects, etc.). Whats good and bad about living near a volcano? 34(8), Nov 2014, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25176568, http://www.spandidos-publications.com/ijmm/34/5/1395. 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. :) Wiki User. View Study Online or Download PDF Corn plant poisoning in pets causes vomiting, depression, anorexia, and hypersalivation. Also, of concern, children living near farming areas can receive considerably higher levels of pesticide exposure after these same pesticides are sprayed on food crops. Read More. The study, which involved almost 700 women in 10 California counties, showed that pregnant mothers who lived near food crops where certain pesticides were sprayed faced significantly increased rates of miscarriage due to birth defects. Cincinatti Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinatti, Ohio This works out to approximately 1 per 100,000 children under age 15 on a national level. View Original Journal Article 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 Neurology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, Children Living Near Farms have Higher Levels of Pesticides This study is being included as malathion is sometimes sprayed aerially (and repeatedly) over crops in agriculture districts. 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. The mice had nearly four times as many "reactive astrocytes,'' brain cells that suggest they are damaged, they had about 15 percent fewer dopamine neurons, and they produced 15 percent less dopamine than normal mice. The study consisted of 35 families who lived within 50 feet from a pesticide treated orchard - 12 families who lived between 50 and 200 feet and 4 families who lived between 200 feet and 1/4 mile from pesticide treated orchards. It's closely related family members include the fungicides triadimefon, triadimenol, bitertanol, flusilazole, 1,2,4-triazole, and propiconazole. WebIs living near to farm a bad choice? www.chem-tox.com/cancerchildren - brain cancer research summaries However, this is not what occurs in real life situations for people working around pesticides or families living in homes within 1/2 to 1 mile of farming areas. Illnesses occurring at higher rates for people living close to agriculture include birth defects, brain cancer, autism, infertility, miscarriage, Parkinson's Disease, immune system damage, leukemia, developmental brain damage in children, higher rates of child cancers, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, lupus and diabetes. Other conclusions of the study found there was more than double an increase in respiratory/circulatory birth defects in babies if heart malformations were excluded. Beneficial School of Public Health, Brain Defense Damaged by all 3 Classes of Pesticides in Urine/Blood View Original Journal Article Also, critics of this study (such as those funded by agricultural interests) do not take into account that EPA guidelines on pesticide safety consider only at one pesticide at a time, however, children (and all of us) are exposed to many pesticides in food simulneously.
