Impact of insect-resistant GM rice on pesticide use and farmers' health in China

JK Huang, RF Hu, FB Qiao, YH Yin, HJ Liu… - Science China Life …, 2015 - Springer
The economic benefits of insect-resistant genetically modified (GM) crops have been well
documented, but the impact of such crops and the consequent reduction in pesticide use on
farmers' health remains largely unknown. Through the analysis of the data collected from the
physical examination from farmers in China, we show that GM rice significantly reduces
pesticide use and the resultant not only visible but also invisible adverse effects on farmers'
neurological, hematological, and electrolyte system. Hence, the commercialization of GM …
