According to a study published in Nature-Communications this week, Agricultural pesticide use and adverse birth outcomes in the San Joaquin Valley of California showed that exposure to pesticides during pregnancy may lead to adverse birth outcomes, but only when the exposure level is very high This will be the case.
Researchers evaluated a large data set derived from the San Joaquin Valley in California and found a small target group that is expected to benefit from measures aimed at reducing pesticide-related birth abnormalities.
Image source: Pixabay Past research has shown that pesticides can have a negative impact on the health of agricultural workers, but it has not been clear what impact individuals living near agricultural areas may be affected.
Ashley Larsen and colleagues of the University of California, Santa Barbara analyzed the 500,000 birth records and local pesticide use levels in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley between 1997 and 2011, and investigated the relationship between pesticide exposure and birth outcome Relationship.
For the birth outcome, the author focuses on the birth weight, gestational age and birth abnormalities.
Spatial distribution and variables of pesticide use in California's San Joaquin Valley.
a.
In 2011, the pesticide distribution results of the township commons survey (PLS) of about 93km2 showed that the total amount of pesticide active substances in each year differed in time and space; b.
The standard deviation of the total pesticides measured in the township commons.
Larsen et al.
's findings indicate that exposure to very high pesticide levels during pregnancy, that is, the highest exposure level of 5%, or exposure to at least 4200 kg of pesticides, will cause (related to birth weight, gestational age, and birth abnormalities).
The probability of a bad birth outcome increases by 5-9%.The authors suggest that policy interventions targeting these groups at greatest risk may reduce pesticide-related birth abnormalities.
