Pesticide exposure harms memory
Dec 25th 2012, 19:44

A review of 14 separate studies has shown that chemicals can reduce memory and the ability to process information quickly.

The findings, by researchers at University College London and the Open University, are the most comprehensive evidence yet that organophosphates can harm human health at low levels.

Doctors have long recognised that in high doses the chemicals, which are used to kill or repel insects and are also ingredients in aviation fuel and in some flame retardants, can be toxic, but the effects of lower doses have remained controversial.
