(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, April 4, 2024) Researchers at the National Institute of Pediatrics and National Polytechnic Institute found positive associations between pesticide exposure and heightened risk of certain childhood cancers. The finding is derived from a meta-analysis of 174 studies published between 2013 and 2023 and published in the International Journal of Molecular Science<\/em><\/a>. The authors note, \u201cAlthough [pesticide exposure] association with childhood cancer has not been fully demonstrated, we found that more than 80% of the epidemiological studies show positive associations\u00a0[with forms of childhood cancer].\u201d<\/p>\n

Approximately one third of identified studies (roughly 16) find positive relationships between prenatal and postnatal pesticide exposure with heightened risk of leukemia, neuroblastoma, and rare forms of cancer, such as Wilms tumor. For central nervous system (CNS) tumors, half of identified studies (roughly 24) found a positive relationship with pesticide exposure. The researchers call on further research regarding interaction between different pesticides and health impacts on cumulative exposure.<\/p>\n

The study is broad in scope, identifying various environmental pollutants and their associations with certain childhood cancers (e.g. radon exposure, air pollution, electromagnetic fields, indoor chemicals, and tobacco and alcohol). This Daily News focuses specifically on pesticide exposure. The researchers originally identified 6,172 studies through PubMed, however 174 studies were ultimately included after two rounds of screening with the three following criteria:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cOriginal or review epidemiological studies assessing the association between environmental pollution and childhood cancer;<\/li>\n
  2. Published between 2013\u20132023; and,<\/li>\n
  3. With abstracts in English or Spanish.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Table 3 in the Results section identifies the running list of studies assessing pesticide exposure and risk of childhood cancer. Out of the 376 papers initially pulled from the database using the keywords \u201cchildren,\u201d \u201ccancer,\u201d and \u201cpesticides,\u201d the researchers included 49 articles following the criteria listed above. Regarding the type of exposure, 34 percent focused on parental exposure to pesticides, 24 percent focused on postnatal exposure, and 27% focused on maternal\/prenatal exposure\u2014a relatively even distribution of potential avenues for pesticide harms. Studies that fall under the category of \u201cchildhood cancer\u201d typically refer to studies that investigate more than one type of cancer.<\/p>\n

    In the conclusion subsection on pesticides, researchers arrive at several determinations: \u201cImportantly, our results revealed a high percentage of studies showing associations between CNS tumors, neuroblastoma, and pesticides (Figure 7<\/a>). The mechanisms assessing the potential relationship of pesticides with these types of cancer should be explored. Although the genotoxicity of pesticides has been evaluated, their epigenetic effects need to be fully investigated because their contribution to childhood cancer etiology could be at this level []. In addition, although the risks of pesticide exposure have been vastly evaluated, the transgenerational effects of these exposures need more attention. It has been shown that the environmentally induced disease risk can be transmitted to the offspring, via epigenetic mechanisms through female and male germ lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The findings from the studies in the meta-analysis do not come as a surprise for advocates who have witnessed the adverse health impacts of pesticide exposure on chemically sensitive populations such as children. In \u201cPesticides and Children Don\u2019t Mix<\/a>,\u201d Beyond Pesticides outlines the myriad health risks associated with childhood exposure to pesticides that corroborate the findings of this more recent study. For example, a 2015 meta-analysis study by scientists at the Harvard University\u2019s School of Public Health finds that children\u2019s exposure to pesticides in and around the home results in an increased risk of developing certain childhood cancers. Authors found that cancer risk is connected most closely to the type of pesticide used and its application location.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    A 2024 Environmental Research <\/em>study<\/a> found an association between adverse neurodevelopment (brain function and development) among infants and exposure to the herbicide\u00a0glyphosate<\/a>\u00a0during pregnancy. To that end, researchers indicate negative neurodevelopment becomes more pronounced at 24 months or two years. Glyphosate-based herbicides were also found to induce oxidative stress-induced damage in the brain after prenatal, early life, and postnatal exposure, leading to reduced melatonin levels that ultimately disrupt circadian rhythm and lead to sleep disorders later in life, according to a 2023 study in Antioxidants<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    In addition to maternal\/prenatal exposure from herbicides, children experience exposure to pyrethroid insecticides earlier in life as levels significantly increase after birth leading to degenerative neurotoxic impacts later in life, according to a study published in\u00a0Frontiers in Public Health<\/em> in 2023<\/a>. There are some elected officials who are attempting to take action. The Protect America\u2019s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act of 2023<\/a>\u00a0(PACTPA), S.269, addresses many of the controversial issues<\/a> with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which governs the registration and use of pesticides in the U.S. that adversely affect farmworkers.\u00a0Beyond Pesticides has documented the decades of disproportionate, adverse health impacts farmworkers<\/a> face from chronic and acute pesticide exposure. Additionally, see the Daily News section on children to find further research and findings regarding pesticide exposure and children\u2019s<\/a> health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Beyond Pesticides continues to provide resources for advocates calling on the expansion and strengthening of organic land management principles and agriculture to prevent the spread of toxic petrochemical pesticides.

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\/34993","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=34993"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35005,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34993\/revisions\/35005"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
