Wilms\u2019 tumor is one of the most common childhood cancers but has an inscrutable etiology. This study adds weight to the theory that pesticides are a driver of the tumor\u2019s development, as pesticide use was more strongly associated than other widely investigated causes, including parental smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Families enrolled in an ongoing nationwide French study were questioned by phone about their lifestyle, including smoking habits, mother\u2019s alcohol consumption, and household pesticide use. Participants were further segmented by their frequency of these risk factors, and pesticide use was narrowed down by type, including herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide use, as well as where the chemicals were used (indoor\/outdoor). Researchers ultimately enrolled 117 families whose children developed nephroblastoma, and included 1100 families as a control.<\/p>\n<p>A regression analysis found no association between either parent smoking and incidence of the disease. Similarly, no pattern was found in the relation between maternal alcohol consumption and Wilms\u2019 tumor. However, use of any pesticides during pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of disease development. Families whose children developed nephroblastoma reported higher rates of pesticide use than control families (52% to 40%). While any pesticide use was associated with a higher risk, insecticides, particularly use of combinations of insecticides and other pesticides, showed stronger associations. The strongest link between Wilms\u2019 tumor and environmental exposure was parental use of pesticides within three months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>This study reinforces concepts around \u201ccritical windows of exposure,\u201d which posits that prenatal and early-life exposure to environmental toxins increase susceptibility to health impacts. While nephroblastoma generally afflicts children under the age of five, other early life exposures can take years, and even decades before health impacts arise. A study published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jnci\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/jnci\/djy198\/5299924\">Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2019<\/a> found that women exposed to the long-banned chemical DDT during childhood or puberty had an increased risk of developing cancer both before and after the age of 50. Researchers were able to determine <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2019\/02\/ddt-exposure-during-early-life-associated-with-increased-risk-of-breast-cancer\/\">how first exposure related to the timing of breast cancer development<\/a>. Maternal exposure to DDT and its metabolites in the womb has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2018\/08\/mothers-with-high-exposure-to-ddt-more-likely-to-have-children-with-autism-study-finds\/\">linked to a higher chance of an autism diagnosis<\/a> in children. Relevant to the current Covid19 pandemic, prenatal and infant exposure to DDT and other organochlorine class pesticides has been <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2018\/09\/organochlorine-pesticide-exposures-in-the-womb-linked-to-poorer-lung-function-in-childhood\/\">linked to poorer lung function in adolescence.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The present study did not zero in on the exact pesticides associated with Wilms\u2019 tumor, but current evidence indicates that it is not only banned chemicals like DDT that are harming mothers and children during critical windows of development. A <a href=\"https:\/\/ehjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12940-018-0367-0\">2018 study published in Environmental Health<\/a> found that women with high levels of the weedkiller glyphosate in their bodies were <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2018\/03\/study-shows-glyphosate-linked-shorter-pregnancies\/\">more likely to have shorter pregnancies<\/a>, which puts children at risk delayed brain development and learning disabilities. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nephroblastoma is not the only cancer that has been linked to household pesticide use. A <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/ijc.31073\">2017 study published in Cancer Epidemiology<\/a> using the same French cohort found an association between past use of pesticides in the home and the development of brain tumors in children under the age of 15. Nicolas Vidart d\u2019Egurbide Bagazgo\u00eftia, PhD, lead author of the study, noted, \u201cAlthough such retrospective studies cannot identify specific chemicals used or quantify the exposure, our findings add another reason to advise mothers to limit their exposure to pesticides around the time of pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/infoservices\/pesticidesandyou\/documents\/PediatriciansVol32No4.pdf\">strong consensus among pediatricians<\/a> that pregnant mothers and young children should avoid pesticide exposure during these critical windows of development. Given the <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/managesafe\/choose-a-pest\">wide availability of non-pesticidal alternative strategies<\/a> to manage common household pests, these precautions represent low-hanging fruit for new families wishing to give their children a safe and healthy head start in the world.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the link between pesticide use and cancer, and to learn more about critical windows of exposure for young children, see Beyond Pesticides\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/pesticide-induced-diseases-database\/overview\">Pesticide Induced Diseases Database<\/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=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/32247207\">Cancer Epidemiology<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, April 15, 2020) Home pesticide use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of a child developing the kidney cancer nephroblastoma, or Wilms\u2019 tumor, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology by a team of French scientists.

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\/26767","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=26767"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26776,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26767\/revisions\/26776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
