PRINTABLE OR WHITE BACKGROUND VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE |
Researchers assessed the influence of occupational pesticide use on the
prevalence of Parkinson's Disease in people with information available
concerning occupational, residential, and household sources of pesticide
exposure.
 Ever
having used carbamate pesticides increased the risk of Parkinson's Disease
by 455%, while the use of organophosphorus pesticides (OP) and
organochlorine pesticides (OC) doubled the risk of Parkinson's Disease.
The risk of developing Parkinson's Disease increased by 110% to 211% if somebody had ever had
occupational use of fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. Using any
pesticide occupationally for more than 10 years doubled the risk of
Parkinson's Disease compared with those people that had no occupational
pesticide use.
Most surprisingly, the researchers estimated higher risks of
Parkinson's Disease among those people reporting use of personal protective
equipment (PPE). This suggests that personal protective equipment is
insufficient for protection against pesticides.
