The Impact of Greenhouse Density on Cognitive Function in Primary School Children Using the WISC Method

Exposure to pesticides is associated with various health concerns and may also be related impaired cognitive function. This study investigated the relationship between greenhouse density function in primary school children using Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) environmental sampling. was conducted on 128 (6–9 years old) Ebrahimabad village, Ashkezar, Yazd, Iran 2019, 10 students were excluded from after filling consent form. The WISC-IV measured children’s function, a flame ionization detector gas chromatography (GC-FID) instrument used detect exposure pesticides. There significant inverse homes scores verbal thinking (P value=0.003) total scale value=0.0001) WISC. Further, results showed that obtained are significantly their fathers’ education value=0.008) occupation value=0.014). Moreover, of measurement confirmed presence malathion, ethion, chlorpyrifos, dieldrin, oxadiazine maximum concentration 183 µg/m3 response malathion. present indicated increasing reduces functions. ambient air analysis as well. Due long-term chemical effects, management measures such public education, substituting crop types, use eco-friendly methods unavoidable.
