Children Exposed to Increasing Concentrations of Pyrethroid Insecticides

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–February 10, 2014.  A recent study has found that exposure to pyrethroids is increasing among children and adults. The study also finds that children are still widely exposure to chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate chemical that has been banned for household use for over 12 years. This is not the first study to find high concentrations of pyrethroids in residential, but it may be the first to evaluate correlations between pesticide dust concentration and concentration of pesticides in children’s urine.pregnant-market-coloradjust
