Research links insecticide use to neurological problems

摘要

New research shows farmers who used agricultural insecticides experienced increased neurological symptoms even when they were no longer using the products.Data from 18,782 North Carolina and Iowa farmers linked use of insecticides,including organophosphates and organochlorines,to reports of reoccurring headaches,fatigue,insomnia,dizziness,nausea,hand tremors,numbness and other neurological symptoms,according to the findings,which will be published in the month's issue of environmental health perspectives.
