Prenatal exposure to pesticides linked to attention problems in children
Children who were exposed to organophosphate pesticides before birth were more likely to develop attention disorders years later, according to a new study. Researchers linked higher maternal concentrations of pesticide metabolites during pregnancy to greater odds of attention problems in children at age 5. The study adds to a growing body of evidence that organophosphate pesticide exposure can impact human health.
