(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, May 13, 2024) A study published in Environmental Research<\/em><\/a> finds that \u201cearly life organophosphate pesticide exposure has been linked with poorer neurodevelopment from infancy to adolescence.\u201d Researchers in this study acknowledge that there is still much more to be done in furthering understanding of \u201cneural mechanisms underlying these associations,\u201d and yet there is \u201cnotable consistency\u201d in their Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) birth cohort study. This study\u2019s findings are consistent with decades of substantial, peer-reviewed<\/a> scientific literature documenting the adverse health impacts of organophosphate pesticides on public and ecological health. Organic advocates believe that a transition away from chemical-intensive agriculture and land management is the most viable solution to avoid adverse health impacts and end reliance on toxic chemicals in households and communities.<\/p>\n

The researchers for this study are based at the University of California, Berkley (Center for Environmental Research and Community Health as well as Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research), Department of Public Health at University of California, Merced, and Stanford University (Departments of Radiology and Pediatrics in the School of Medicine). \u201cWe have reported associations of prenatal\u00a0[organophosphate]\u00a0exposure with poorer cognitive function and executive function, and more attention and behavior problems from birth through age 18 years,\u201d according to the researchers.<\/p>\n

The researchers arrived at this conclusion through a multi-pronged approach, including a pesticide exposure assessment, infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), covariate assessment, and subsequent statistical analysis of the data.<\/p>\n

Over the course of this 18-year study time horizon, 317 youth from the original cohort of pregnant women recruited in 1999 and 2000 made up the study population with a note \u201cthat the youth in this analysis are separate from the subset of 95 youth who completed fNIRS at age 16 years.\u201d In the end, 291 CHAMCOS youth and their respective families were included in this analysis.\u00a0 Most mothers were born in Mexico (90.4 percent) and were living \u201cat or below the poverty line at the 18-year visit (41.6%).\u201d Pesticide exposure was measured two times during the pregnancy (13- and 26-week gestation) and at 6-month, 1-year-, 2-year, 3.5-year, and 5-year appointments.<\/p>\n

The researchers measured the concentration of 6 dialkyl phosphate metabolites – three dimethyl phosphate metabolites (dimethylphosphate, dimethylthiophosphate, dimethyldithiophosphate) and three diethyl phosphate metabolites (diethylphosphate, diethylthiophosphate, and diethyldithiophosphate)\u2014using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. From there, the researchers estimated neurodevelopment changes through fNIRS to measure \u201ccortical activation in the frontal, temporal, and parietal regions of the brain during tasks of executive function and semantic language.\u201d Data was gathered from the mother-youth pair participants \u201cat approximately biennial visits (twice during pregnancy, shortly following delivery, and when youth were 6 months and 1, 2, 3.5, 5, 7, 9, 10.5, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years of age).\u201d<\/p>\n

Various organophosphates, most notoriously the insecticide chlorpyrifos<\/a>, are linked to adverse health effects in vulnerable individuals, including children, mothers, farmworkers, and frontline workers in the agricultural and pest management sectors. Although advocates for public and environmental health initially prevailed when in 2021 a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit of Appeals ordered EPA to promulgate a rule eliminating chlorpyrifos use in agriculture<\/a> after its ban on golf courses in 2001, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of industry<\/a> by vacating this prohibition.<\/p>\n

In terms of the scientific literature, there are numerous studies that document the public health hazards caused by organophosphate pesticides. For example, a 2023 meta-analysis of organophosphates published in Toxics<\/em><\/a> found that current pesticides that fall in this class of chemicals, including chlorpyrifos and malathion, induce oxidative stress, as well as DNA and cellular damage in the cardiovascular system. In addition, organophosphates can disrupt the homeostasis of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses of cytokine proteins responsible for immune protection. Thus, exposure can exacerbate vulnerability to deadly diseases, including cardiovascular disease. A 2024 study published in Environmental Sciences Europe<\/em><\/a> builds on this linkage, finding that some organophosphate pesticides\u2014including metabolites of organophosphates (oxypyrimidine [diazinon], paranitrophenol [parathion], and dichloroynl-dimeth prop carboacid [dichlorvos]) can increase cancer risk while simultaneously elevating inflammation biomarkers that indicate damage to organs (e.g., liver) via oxidative stress. Different cancers are associated with different pesticides; consequently, cancer risk changes with exposure concentration and pattern.<\/p>\n

Organophosphates also pose a threat to reproductive health based on studies published in Environmental Health Perspectives<\/em><\/a>, F1000 Research<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>and additional peer-reviewed journals. For example, men exposed to organophosphate (e.g., glyphosate and malathion) insecticides have lower sperm concentrations than the general population, with an even greater degree found in men exposed through professional settings such as factories. To learn more about the adverse, long-term health impacts onset by organophosphate pesticides, see its section in the Daily News Blog<\/a> and search details on specific organophosphates in the Gateway on Pesticide Hazards and Safe Pest Management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dependency on individual toxic pesticides and families of pesticides are symptomatic of chemical-intensive land management practices. According to Beyond Pesticides, campaigns to ban individual pesticides can be important in elevating public understanding of the scope of the problem, but insufficient in galvanizing transformational change of food systems resulting in public, worker, and environmental exposure. Toxic pesticides do not have a place in certified organic products, nor should they have a place in any food products consumed by the public. Organic advocates have long decried the use of toxic pesticides in mainstream, industrial agriculture and land management and call for systems-change transformation that is achievable through organic agriculture and land management principles. This sentiment is aligned with Beyond Pesticides’ mission to eliminate use of toxic petrochemical pesticides by 2032 to address the compounding crises of public health, biodiversity collapse, and climate change.<\/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\/35277","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=35277"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35282,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35277\/revisions\/35282"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
