Biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage in agricultural workers:
a pilot study.

Oxidative stress and DNA damage have been proposed as mechanisms
linking pesticide exposure to health effects such as cancer and
neurological diseases. A study of pesticide applicators and
farmworkers was conducted to examine the relationship between
organophosphate pesticide exposure and biomarkers of oxidative stress
and DNA damage ... The findings from these in vivo and in vitro
studies indicate that organophosphate pesticides induce oxidative
stress and DNA damage in agricultural workers. These biomarkers may be
useful for increasing our understanding of the link between pesticides
and a number of health effects. PMID: 18086483

Pesticides and childhood cancer: an update of Zahm and Ward's 1998
review.

Children are exposed to pesticides through a number of sources,
including residential and agricultural applications. Parental
occupational exposure to pesticides is also a concern because
exposures occurring during pregnancy and carry-home residues also
contribute to children's cumulative burden. A number of
epidemiological studies consistently reported increased risks between
pesticide exposures and childhood leukemia, brain cancer,
neuroblastoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Wilms' tumor, and Ewing's
sarcoma. An extensive review of these studies was published in 1998
(Zahm & Ward, 1998). Fifteen case-control studies, 4 cohort studies,
and 2 ecological studies have been published since this review, and 15
of these 21 studies reported statistically significant increased risks
between either childhood pesticide exposure or parental occupational
exposure and childhood cancer. Therefore, one can confidently state
that there is at least some association between pesticide exposure and
childhood cancer. ... future epidemiological studies need to assess
gene-environment interactions ... PMID: 18074305

Many pesticides are estrogenic. When combined with other pollutants
such as TCDD (a potent dioxin), their effects can be synergistic as
alluded to in following abstract.

Combination of estrogen and dioxin is involved in the pathogenesis of
endometriosis by promoting chemokine secretion and invasion of
endometrial stromal cells.
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of 17beta-estradiol with TCDD may
facilitate the onset of endometriosis and contribute to its
development by increasing the invasion of endometrial stromal cells
mediated by CC-motif chemokines. PMID: 18456672

You need to retract your comments. I've made them permanent.
Admit it you are wrong but then you're wrong most of the time.
