Pesticides = Impact On Children Mental Development
I have written about the topic of pesticides before but this study concerns children and I have not touched on the impact of pesticides on children.
Organophosphates are pesticides widely used around the world in agriculture, homes, gardens and veterinary practices. Commercial names include parathion, malathion, methyl parathion, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dichlorvos, phosmet, fenitrothion, tetrachlorvinphos, and azinphos methyl.
Recent research has found that “Prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides has been shown to negatively impact child neurobehavioral development.” And that “prenatal exposure to organophosphates negatively impacts cognitive development, particularly perceptual reasoning, with evidence of effects beginning at 12 months and continuing through early childhood.”
