Environmental Exposure to Pesticides and the Risk of Child Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Conclusions: The areas with the highest greenhouse concentration had higher incidences of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly in boys, and lower age of referral. Chromosomal abnormalities were prevalent for prenatal diagnoses, gestational age below thirty-two weeks for perinatal diagnoses, and brain damage for postnatal diagnoses. Future studies should analyze the connection between pesticide exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders using spatial point pattern analysis.PMID:38541201 | PMC:PMC10972353 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60030475
