HOUSEHOLD PESTICIDES INCREASE THE
RISK OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE
International Journal of Epidemiology [2013] Sep 20 [Epub ahead of print]
(S.Narayan, Z.Liew, K.Paul, P.C.Lee, J.S.Sinsheimer, J.M.Bronstein, B.Ritz)
Complete abstract
Household pesticide use is widespread, and for over 40 years
organophosphorus chemicals have been common active ingredients in these
products. Parkinson's Disease has been linked to pesticide exposures but
little is known about the contributions of chronic exposures to household
pesticides.
Consequently,
researchers investigated whether long term use of household pesticides,
especially those containing
organophosphorus chemicals,
increases the risk of developing or worsening Parkinson's Disease. Frequent
use of any household pesticide increased the risk of developing Parkinson's
Disease by 47%. Frequent� use of products containing
organophosphorus chemicals
increased the risk of Parkinson's Disease by 71%. Frequent
organothiophosphate use almost doubled the risk of Parkinson's�
Disease.
The evidence shows that household use of
organophosphorus
pesticides is clearly associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's
Disease. For a printable version of this article
