Prenatal Pesticide Exposure Linked to Brain Damage and Sleep Problems
Chlorpyrifos exposure during pregnancy causes lasting brain damage in children after birth, including thicker cortex regions, reduced white matter, and impaired fine motor skills development
Prenatal pesticide exposure triggers neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, creating a cycle of mitochondrial damage that reduces blood flow and neuronal density in developing brains
Female babies show higher vulnerability to chlorpyrifos effects, experiencing more sleep apnea, breathing problems, and elevated inflammatory molecules in brain tissue than males
Pesticide exposure alters gene expression through epigenetic changes, permanently affecting how the brain responds to stress, inflammation, and memory formation throughout life
Strategies to protect your health include filtering drinking water, exercising regularly, improving indoor air quality, and choosing organic produce to reduce pesticide exposure
