Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure and Neurodevelopment in Young Mexican-American Children
BACKGROUND Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are widely used in agriculture and homes. Animal studies suggest that even moderate doses are neurodevelopmental toxicants, but there are few studies in humans. OBJECTIVES We investigated the relationship of prenatal and child OP urinary metabolite levels with children's neurodevelopment. METHODS Participating children were from a longitudinal birt...
متن کاملOrganophosphate Pesticide Exposure and Attention in Young Mexican-American Children: The CHAMACOS Study
BACKGROUND Exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides, well-known neurotoxicants, has been associated with neurobehavioral deficits in children. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether OP exposure, as measured by urinary dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites in pregnant women and their children, was associated with attention-related outcomes among Mexican-American children living in an agricultural...
متن کاملManganese in teeth and neurodevelopment in young Mexican-American children.
INTRODUCTION Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient but higher exposure has been associated with poorer neurodevelopment in children. METHODS We measured Mn levels in prenatal (Mnpre) (n=197) and postnatal (Mnpost) dentin (n=193) from children's shed teeth using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy and examined the relationship with children's scores on the Mental Deve...
متن کاملIn utero exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and neurodevelopment among young Mexican American children.
OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between prenatal exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and neurodevelopment of Mexican farm-workers' children in California. METHODS Participants from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas study, a birth cohort study, included 360 singletons with maternal serum m...
متن کاملOrganophosphate pesticide exposure, PON1, and neurodevelopment in school-age children from the CHAMACOS study.
INTRODUCTION Organophosphate (OP) pesticides remain widely used in agriculture. Previously, we reported that PON1 genotype was directly associated with neurodevelopment at age two, and that PON1 genotype may increase susceptibility to OP exposure. OBJECTIVES We examined the relationships of maternal and child PON1 genotype and enzyme activity levels and neurodevelopment at school age and exam...
