Pesticide exposure and human health: Toxic legacy

Systematic approaches to machine learning models for predicting pesticide toxicity

“…Another pesticide commonly called is used on grasses, fruits, and vegetables. These pesticides attack the leaves and roots of weeds and affect the growth of the plants, causing cancer and killing them [ 95 , 96 ]. To overcome these drawbacks, researchers are currently developing new pesticides.…”

Neurogenesis and pesticides: news of no new neurons

“… 35 In fact, epidemiological studies refer to some acute and chronic health effects of pesticide exposure, including dermatological, visual, auditory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, fertility, carcinogenic and neurological. 36 With regard to the CNS, important studies have found that some families of pesticides (e.g., carbamates, organochlorines, and organophosphates) can cause severe damage to the CNS and are considered potential risk factors for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. 36 For example, 5 to 10 years of exposure to pesticides have been described to be associated with a 5 to 11% increased risk of developing Parkinson disease.…”
