The study is a warning specifically to households with young children, who are at increased risk of health effects from even minute levels of pesticide exposure. \u201cNumerous health problems occur from exposure to pesticides, such as cancer, birth defects, leukemia and ocular [vision-related] toxicity, among a number of other health issues,\u201d said Joseph Laquatra, PhD, coauthor of the research. \u201cHouseholds with crawling toddlers should be concerned, as toddlers will accumulate pesticide residues on their hands and then ingest them due to hand-to-mouth behaviors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Researchers focused in on 132 households in rural counties of New York State that agreed to test for pesticide residue inside their home. Wipe samples were collected from both carpeted and non-carpeted areas, and tested for pesticides used commonly as part of agricultural production in the region. The pesticides analyzed included 15 compounds ranging from organophosphates like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-gateway?chemfind=chlorpyrifos\">chlorpyrifos<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-gateway?chemfind=malathion\">malathion<\/a>, to synthetic pyrethroids like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-gateway?chemfind=resmethrin\">resmethrin<\/a>, the triazine herbicide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-gateway?chemfind=atrazine\">atrazine<\/a>, and the widely used herbicide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-gateway?chemfind=2,4-D\">2,4-D<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every single compound tested for was discovered in every home examined. This discovery has important implications for rural residents. Pesticides can make their way into homes through a variety of ways. The obvious route is a home application, but many of the pesticides tested were restricted use, allowed only to be used outside or in agriculture by certified pesticide applicators. Previous studies have shown that herbicides like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/lawn\/activist\/documents\/Distributionof24Dinair.pdf\">2,4-D can be tracked into the home on shoes or by pets<\/a>, but pesticides can also enter houses through airborne entry or off-gassing from soil.<\/p>\n<p>Once making it into a home, pesticides will take much longer to degrade than in the outdoor environment in water or soil. A study published last year found that synthetic pyrethroids, the active ingredient in most bug sprays like <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2017\/07\/common-bug-killers-used-homes-persist-year\/\">RAID, leave significant residues that can persist in homes for over a year.<\/a> \u00a0And studies have found that the presence of a pesticide in one\u2019s home <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2014\/02\/chlidren-exposed-to-increasing-concentrations-of-pyrethroid-insecticides\/\">correlates with the concentration of a pesticide subsequently found in an individual\u2019s urine<\/a>. And children, being more prone to crawling on the floor and hand and mouth activities, are at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/lawn\/factsheets\/Pesticide.children.dontmix.pdf\">greater risk of pesticide-induced diseases than adults<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While pesticide residue may invisible to the naked eye, there are sources of exposure that households can address in attempts to reduce residue inside the home: dirt and dust. In their research, the Cornell team referenced a 2006 study which found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17135145\">cleaning practices could significantly reduce pesticide residues.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen building new homes or remodeling existing homes, install hard surface, easy-to-clean floors, such as hardwood, tile or resilient flooring. Keep floors clean,\u201d he said. \u201cHave a home entry system that captures soil and pollutants at the door. This entry system should consist of a hard-surfaced walkway, such as a paved sidewalk, a grate-like scraper mat outside the entry door, and a highly absorbent doormat that will trap pollutants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With pesticides found in our air, water, and soil, it is no wonder that these chemicals are also making their way into our homes. While household protective measures focused on removing dirt and dust that pesticides have clung to can make an impact today, only sustained efforts towards a pesticide-free society will end the risks pesticides pose to our health.<\/p>\n<p>Help support this movement by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/programs\/organic-agriculture\/why-organic\/health-benefits\">purchasing organic whenever possible<\/a>, switching to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/programs\/lawns-and-landscapes\/overview\">pesticide-free management of home lawns<\/a>, forgoing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/managesafe\/choose-a-pest?pestlocation=indoor#headerphoto\">use of pesticides inside the home<\/a>, and encouraging your community to follow suit by implementing pesticide reform policies. <a href=\"https:\/\/action.beyondpesticides.org\/p\/dia\/action3\/common\/public\/?action_KEY=23760\">Tell us you\u2019re ready to fight for a pesticide-free community by signing the petition today, and receive a packet of information you can use to advocate in your community. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>All unattributed positions and opinions in this piece are those of Beyond Pesticides.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/stories\/2018\/10\/new-study-finds-harmful-pesticides-lurking-ny-homes\">Cornell University PR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, October 18, 2018) Pesticide residue doesn\u2019t announce itself \u2013it isn\u2019t colored, it doesn\u2019t glow or reflect light, and after an initial application doesn\u2019t put out a discernible odor &#8211; but it is likely ubiquitous in rural U.S. homes, according to a study published by Cornell University researchers late last month.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23556"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23571,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23556\/revisions\/23571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
