Long Term Pesticide Exposure

Long Term Pesticide Exposure

Long-term exposure refers to regular and constant exposure to low levels of pesticides. Although there is still considerable debate on the effects of long-term pesticide exposure to health, owing to the fact that ongoing research requires decades before a conclusion could be arrived at, early data collected so far have demonstrated numerous harmful effects to body systems.

If you are constantly exposed to pesticides, you are prone to recurring or persistent abdominal pains, loss of appetite and weight loss. Respiratory system symptoms include recurrent upper respiratory infections, persistent colds and coughs, and asthma.

If you are a man, regular exposure to pesticides can cause sterility, a decrease in sperm count and abnormalities in the sperms. If you are a woman, you can have difficulty in achieving pregnancy, or are prone to spontaneous abortion and fetal death in utero. Babies born from mothers who had constant exposure to pesticides during pregnancy could suffer from altered growth and birth defects.

Impairment of your immune system makes you susceptible to infectious diseases and predisposes you to the development of cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and cervical, prostate and testicular cancers.

The effects of pesticide exposure on the nervous system include decreased coordination and stamina, impairment of learning faculties and memory loss. Also noted are numbness, tingling and other sensory symptoms, and impairment of motor function. There is an increased risk for Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
