Insecticides are by design toxic. They must be toxic to effectively kill target species of insects.
Unfortunately, they also have off-target toxic effects that can harm other species, including …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests a positive association between exposure to
non-agricultural pesticides and childhood brain tumors (CBT). Objective (1) To conduct a …

The progressive loss of neuronal structure and functions resulting in the death of neurons is
considered as neurodegeneration. Environmental toxicants induced degeneration of …

It has been proposed that developmental exposure to pesticides contributes to increasing
prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children, such as attention deficit with …

Pesticide exposure is recognized as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We
investigated early signs of AD-like pathology upon exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide …

We present three cases of severe pulmonary toxicity after inhalation of pyrethroid-based
insecticides demanding hospitalization and oxygen therapy. One of these cases died …

The immune system of the rat undergoes substantial functional and morphological
development during the postnatal period. Some aspects of this development are genetically …

Several studies have shown that the oxidative impact of pesticides is most prevalent in rural
environments where they are intensively used. At different levels, pyrethroids are reported to …

Exposure to pesticides has been associated with neurodevelopmental toxicity. Usually
people are exposed to mixtures of pesticides. However, most studies analyze the effects of …

Cypermethrin, a pyrethroid pesticide, has been shown to induce neurotoxicity in adult
mammals. However, studies are also needed to explore its toxicity in developing brains and …
