Pyrethroid and Chlorpyrifos Pesticide Exposure, General Intellectual Abilities, and Executive Functions of School Children from Montevideo, Uruguay
Children's developing brains are susceptible to pesticides. Less is known about the effect of exposure to chlorpyrifos and pyrethroids on executive functions (EF). We measured urinary 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy), a metabolite of chlorpyrifos, and urinary 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), a general, nonspecific metabolite of pyrethroids in first-grade children from Montevideo, Uruguay ( n = 241, age 80.6 ± 6.4 months, 58.1% boys). EFs were ass…
Risk perception and behavior in Egyptian adolescent pesticide applicators
This theoretically-based intervention is an example of a low-cost solution that can improve adolescents' and young adults' practices regarding pesticide application and personal hygiene practices during and after pesticide application. The intervention can be applied in other countries with similar safety culture surrounding pesticide application
Analysis of Pollution Hazard Intensity
Heavy industrialization has resulted in the contamination of soil by metals from anthropogenic sources in Anniston, Alabama. This situation calls for increased public awareness of the soil contamination issue and better knowledge of the main factors contributing to the potential sources contaminating residential soil. The purpose of this spatial epidemiology research is to describe the effects of physical factors on the concentration of lead (Pb)…
Chlorpyrifos Exposure and Respiratory Health among Adolescent Agricultural Workers
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a commonly used organophosphate insecticide (OP). In adults, exposure to OPs has been inconsistently associated with reduced lung function. OP exposure and lung function has not been assessed in adolescents. The objective of this study was to assess CPF exposure and lung function among Egyptian adolescents. We conducted a 10-month study of male adolescent pesticide applicators (n = 38) and non-applicators of similar age (n =…
Getting involved and having fun
It was the purpose of this study1 to discover what five ninth‐graders (labeled “ at risk “ of dropping out of school) and their teacher (who was a member of the research team) would do to bring meaning and life to a basic‐track English curriculum. Dilemmas encountered by the teacher as he worked to involve students in building a literate community are interpreted through a social constructionist frame for what it means to be literate. Findings fr…
