Chemical Fallout: Current Research on Persistent Pesticides
Paul Ehrlich is really Paul Revere. As he gallops verbally through our society, he warns us of the enemy rapidly approaching. The enemy, much more deadly than the British Redcoats, is in fact, global ecological catastrophe caused by the unbridled increase in the human population, the wanton and gluttonous utilization of the earth's precious and limited resources, and the careless despoliation o...
متن کاملPersistent organochlorine pesticides and risk of testicular germ cell tumors.
BACKGROUND Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, such as persistent organochlorine pesticides, has been suggested to increase the risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). METHODS To study the relationship of POP exposure to TGCT risk, prediagnostic serum samples from 754 case subjects and 928 control subjects enrolled in the Servicemen's Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine ...
متن کاملCarry-over of persistent organochlorine pesticides through placenta to fetus.
OBJECTIVE As a consequence of environmental exposure, organochlorine pesticides accumulate in lipid rich-tissues such as maternal adipose tissue and partition to maternal blood serum and umbilical blood serum. To establish their distribution in the human body, the concentration gradients of organochlorine pesticides between these compartments were determined. MATERIAL AND METHODS Maternal adi...
متن کاملEnvironmental medicine, part 4: pesticides - biologically persistent and ubiquitous toxins.
Although the use of pesticides has doubled every ten years since 1945, pest damage to crops is more prevalent now than it was then. Many pests are now pesticide resistant due to the ubiquitous presence of pesticides in our environment. Chlorinated pesticide residues are present in the air, soil, and water, with a concomitant presence in humans. Organophosphate and carbamate pesticides - the com...
متن کاملPersistent Pesticides in Human Breast Milk and Cryptorchidism
INTRODUCTION Prenatal exposure to some pesticides can adversely affect male reproductive health in animals. We investigated a possible human association between maternal exposure to 27 organochlorine compounds used as pesticides and cryptorchidism among male children. DESIGN Within a prospective birth cohort, we performed a case-control study; 62 milk samples from mothers of cryptorchid boys ...
