(<\/span>Beyond Pesticides<\/span><\/i>, April 25, 2024) <\/span>In a study from earlier this year<\/span><\/a>, \u201c<\/span>Pesticides: An alarming detrimental to health and environment,\u201d <\/span>scientists compiled research from 154 articles regarding pesticide use and the adverse effects they have on the environment and human health. Among the effects of the harmful pesticides described is genotoxicity\u2014the alteration of genetic material that results in the mutations in DNA that cause cancer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The authors state that \u201cgenotoxins are mutagenic chemicals, and exposure to them increases the risk of developing tumors, hormonal changes, DNA damage, and changes in the ovaries and eggs, all of which leading to cancers… The risk of DNA damage surges with increased genotoxicity in people exposed to pesticides.\u201d In addition, the National Institute of Health states that all \u201c<\/span>pesticides are highly biologically active chemicals. They may interact with DNA and damage its structure<\/span><\/a>.\u201d Despite these documented risks, pesticide use continues to surge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While phased out to a considerable extent after being widely used in agriculture and residential areas, organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) or its breakdown compound dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) <\/span>continue to show up<\/span><\/a> as residues in the environment and food supply. Symptoms in humans that have been exposed to these chemicals include: seizures, vomiting, anemia, rapid heart rate, and muscular pain. OCPs have also been linked to changes in the following: hematological\/hepatic (blood and bone marrow), endocrine (hormones), and <\/span>reproductive<\/span><\/a> body systems. Most OCPs are categorized as carcinogens and are linked to genotoxicological properties.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organophosphates (OPs), another class of pesticides that were “touted as an eco-friendly alternative\u201d to OCPs, have a wide body of research on their negative health effects. Glyphosate, a <\/span>phosphonate<\/span><\/a> within the OP family which acts by inhibiting the <\/span>plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase<\/span><\/a> (EPSP), is most widely used. According to this study, OPs have \u201cbeen linked to health issues related to endocrine and nervous systems, cellular oxidative stress, effects on the functioning of important enzymes such as cholinesterase, reduced secretion of insulin, dysregulation of cellular metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and increased genotoxic effects. Population-based research has suggested links between exposure to organophosphates and major health issues, such as dementia, cardiovascular illnesses, adverse effects on the reproductive system in males including the nervous system, and an elevated risk for non-lymphoma Hodgkin. Additionally, prenatal exposure to organophosphorus pesticides is related to shorter gestational times and children developing neurological issues.\u201d <\/span>Many studies<\/span><\/a> have been performed to show these correlations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The greatest risk for pesticides lies in those who apply them. The authors of this study state: \u201cWorkers and farmers, are frequently exposed to relatively higher levels of pesticides, occupational exposure to pesticides is giving rise to more hazards. For an instance, it has been noted that farmers exhibit greater immunotoxicity of pesticides during the pesticide spraying season.\u201d Other elevated <\/span>risks for farmers\u2019 body and mind<\/span><\/a> have also been studied.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pesticide use dates back thousands of years, even as far as <\/span>4500 years ago when sulfur was used to control insects and mites<\/span><\/a>. Starting in the 1500s, mercury and arsenic were utilized against insects, bacteria, and fungi until it was discovered in the 1940s that these metallic elements were toxic, affecting human health and staying in the soil for decades. The 19th and 20th centuries brought the invention and application of many new pesticides that were thought to be safer and more effective, only to be proven to have lethal effects and be banned. Notably, in 1962 <\/span>Rachel Carson wrote \u201cSilent Spring\u201d to shed light on DDT<\/span><\/a> and the damage it caused for over 20 years on not only bird species, but humans and the environment as well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, pesticides on the market continue to be studied and are found to have adverse effects that include resistance. \u201cDue to the increased quantity and frequency of pesticide applications, the targeted pests evolved and adapted to the newer environments and harsh conditions which led to an increase in the prevalence of the resurgence of pests and the appearance of pesticide-resistant species,\u201d the authors of the study affirm. This resistance creates a vicious cycle for the introduction of additional chemicals to combat unwanted species.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Research is ongoing into current pesticides in use, their impacts on DNA, and the link to those, <\/span>especially farmers, who develop cancer after exposure<\/span><\/a>. As more pesticides are being proven to have severely detrimental effects on not only our environment\u2019s water, soil, and air but also on human health and the health of critical species (such as <\/span>pollinators<\/span><\/a>), higher standards needs to be set for the approval of such chemicals. Extensive testing on all pesticides and potential synergistic effects they have need to be performed, and <\/span>transparency from the Environmental Protection Agency needs to be in place to close loopholes<\/span><\/a> that allow for lethal chemicals to be utilized.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safer alternatives are currently available for the pesticides that are widely used today. Natural pesticides, also known as biopesticides, are considered \u201cmore efficient, less expensive, and ecologically sound,\u201d based on this study. Since <\/span>biopesticides<\/span><\/a> are derived from natural materials, they are overall less toxic and have fewer unintended effects. As Beyond Pesticides states on their <\/span>National Organic Standards page<\/span><\/a>, \u201cUnder the organic regulations, only naturally derived pesticides and a small number of synthetic ingredients of low toxicity, such as boric acid, may be used. Inert ingredients in these products must be approved for organic production.\u201d The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) has recommended to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) a process for a thorough review of all inert ingredients used in products allowed for organic production to ensure compliance with the Organic Foods Production Act. The standards in place for organic farming call for the full elimination of pesticides with harmful or even unknown effects with the adoption of a soil-based systems approach to land management that enhances biodiversity and prevents disease and infestation in plants.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While pesticides target weeds, insects, or diseases that affect crop production and nonagricultural land management (e.g., parks and playing fields), these same chemicals damage the environment and many species, as the study indicates. Advocates say that these effects call for not only a reduction in the use of harmful chemicals, but the disuse of them with safer, organic alternatives in their place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Act today by <\/span>writing a letter to legislators about your local community<\/span><\/a> and the impact of pesticides on pollinators that are needed for our food production, as well as the need to switch to organic methods of pest management and help protect children from pesticides by telling the EPA to ban carcinogenic pesticides <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Beyond Pesticides’ mission is for the phase out of toxic petrochemical pesticides by 2032, which can be achieved through local and national change.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An <\/span>organic agricultural approach<\/span><\/a> supports biodiversity, soil health, improved water quality, sustainable practices, energy efficiency, and higher food quality, in addition to preventing exposure to toxic or lethal chemicals. A world-wide shift towards <\/span>organic standards for food production<\/span><\/a> is a necessity to ensure the survival of all species and the environment. Stay up to date on the <\/span>Daily News<\/span><\/a> for studies on current pesticides and the safer alternatives to them that exist. The <\/span>Gateway on Pesticide Hazards and Safe Pest Management<\/span><\/a> allows for additional research on pesticides, and <\/span>The Safer Choice<\/span><\/a> provides resources for the public to make healthier, more informed choices.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\/35160","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=35160"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35165,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35160\/revisions\/35165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
