New study links autism to pesticide exposure during pregnancy
Researchers at the University of California in Davis have recently confirmed that pregnant mothers living in proximity to fields treated with pesticides are at a higher risk for having children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study examined three different varieties of widely-used insecticides: organophosphates, pyrethroids and carbamates. Each was found to play a role in autism or other developmental delays.
The connection between pesticides, autism and lower IQ
Since California is one of the few states to require rigorous reporting and mapping of agricultural pesticide use, researchers involved in the study were able to use this data to track exposure during pregnancy for mothers of 970 children.
Out of the total number of children included in the study, 486 were autistic, 168 had developmental delay (DD) and the remaining 316 were typical in development. Children with developmental delay are classified as those who take extra time to achieve communication, motor or social skill milestones — about 4 percent of American children. Estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that one in 68 children has ASD, which is also characterized by deficits in language and social interaction.
“Ours is the third study to specifically link autism spectrum disorders to pesticide exposure, whereas more papers have demonstrated links with developmental delay,” said lead author Janie F. Shelton.
