Study Links Pesticide Use to Higher Breast Cancer Rates in Rural U.S. Counties
A study published in Cancer Causes & Control by researchers at Michigan State University examined county-level pesticide use and breast cancer incidence from 2001 through 2020, finding a modest positive association in rural counties. According to the report, rural counties with higher use of endocrine-disrupting pesticides showed a 2% higher breast cancer incidence rate after […]

Study Links Pesticide Exposure to Health Effects Across Generations, Gaps Seen in U.S. Regulation
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in February found that a single exposure to the fungicide vinclozolin in pregnant rats led to reproductive and kidney diseases persisting for at least 20 generations. The research, led by Washington State University biologist Michael Skinner, indicates that environmental exposures can alter gene […]

Study Establishes Baseline for Neurological Enzyme in Children, Ties Low Levels to Pesticide Drift
Study Links Organophosphate Pesticide Drift to Lower Enzyme Levels in Children A new study from Ecuador has, for the first time, established a developmental baseline for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in children and found that those living closest to agricultural fields had the lowest levels of the enzyme. Researchers attributed the reduction to off-target drift of organophosphate […]

Studies Link Glyphosate Herbicide to Antimicrobial Resistance in Clinical Pathogens
Summary of Findings Two new scientific studies from South America link the world’s most widely used herbicide, glyphosate, to the proliferation of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including pathogens responsible for life-threatening hospital-acquired infections. Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires found that environmental bacterial strains resistant to glyphosate are closely related to multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogens, suggesting a […]
