Parkinson’s Warning: UCLA & Harvard Researchers Identify 10 Neurotoxic Pesticides

With thousands of pesticides in use, the researchers’ new screening approach could make it easier to determine which ones are linked to the disease. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health and Harvard University have identified 10 pesticides that significantly damag

The 10 pesticides identified as directly toxic to these neurons included: four insecticides (#dicofol, #endosulfan, #naled, #propargite), three herbicides (#diquat, #endothall, #trifluralin), and three fungicides (#Copper#Sulfate [basic and pentahydrate] and #folpet). Most of the pesticides are still in use today in the United States.
