Agrochemicals (Agricultural Chemicals)

01/01/2005 - "While cancer studies of nonspecific pesticide exposure among populations may provide hypotheses for additional testing, they contribute little to the understanding of the health risks of specific agricultural chemicals. "

01/01/2014 - "Based on its chemical structure, xanthocidin has the potential to become a lead compound in the production of agrochemicals and anti-cancer drugs; however, it is unstable under both basic and acidic conditions. "
07/01/2011 - "In recent years, the use of pesticides in agriculture has been steadily increasing, and associations between exposure to agricultural chemicals and DNA damage and cancer have been reported. "
01/01/2009 - "A positive family history of cancer and/or shared environmental exposure to agricultural chemicals play an important role in the development of cancer."

12/15/2010 - "Parkinson disease associated with farming and exposure to agricultural chemicals has been reported in numerous studies; little is known about Parkinson disease risk factors for those living in urban areas. "
09/01/2006 - "Recent studies suggest that exposure to agrochemicals may contribute to the development of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. "
10/01/2015 - "A lack of strong evidence for genetic heritability of idiopathic Parkinson's disease has focused attention on environmental toxicants in the disease etiology, particularly agrichemicals. "
06/01/2012 - "Although the underlying cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) is not well characterized, epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to agricultural chemicals is a risk factor for PD. "
01/01/2012 - "The causes of Parkinson's disease (PD) are unknown, but there is evidence that exposure to environmental agents, including a number of viruses, toxins, agricultural chemicals, dietary nutrients, and metals, is associated with its development in some cases. "

04/01/2014 - "Poisoning with agricultural chemicals is a major threat for wildlife all over the world. "
01/01/2009 - "Developing countries use only 20% of the world's agrochemicals, yet they suffer 99% of deaths from pesticide poisoning. "
04/01/2005 - "In recent times poisoning with agricultural chemicals either accidental or suicidal has become common due to easy availability and low cost. "
04/01/2005 - "346 cases of poisoning by agricultural chemicals were reported from 65 hospitals. "
04/01/2004 - "The fact that pesticide poisoning is still the predominantly used method in DSH in this area calls for a review of the legislation that controls the sale and availability of these agricultural chemicals."

02/01/1998 - "These findings of a statistically significant increased risk of prostate cancer, together with recent results from other studies, imply a relationship between agrochemicals or other risk factors in the environment of farmers and prostate cancer."
01/01/2009 - "Does exposure to agricultural chemicals increase the risk of prostate cancer among farmers?"
05/01/1997 - "The most plausible explanation for the positive association between prostate cancer and farming is exposure to hormonally active agricultural chemicals."
01/01/1996 - "Evidence was found for a relationship between the use of pesticides and of other agricultural chemicals and the risk of prostate cancer. "
01/01/2009 - "We then estimated the odds ratio for prostate cancer associated with exposure to each of 10 agricultural chemicals, i.e., pesticides, arsenic compounds, acetic acid, gasoline engine emissions, diesel engine emissions, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from petroleum, lubricating oils and greases, alkanes with >or=18 carbons, solvents, and mononuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. "

04/01/1996 - "The objectives of this study are to: 1) identify and quantify cancer risks among men, women, whites, and minorities associated with direct exposure to pesticides and other agricultural agents; 2) evaluate noncancer health risks including neurotoxicity reproductive effects, immunologic effects, nonmalignant respiratory disease, kidney disease, and growth and development among children; 3) evaluate disease risks among spouses and children of farmers that may arise from direct contact with pesticides and agricultural chemicals used in the home lawns and gardens, and from indirect contact, such as spray drift, laundering work clothes, or contaminated food or water; 4) assess current and past occupational and nonoccupational agricultural exposures using periodic interviews and environmental and biologic monitoring; 5) study the relationship between agricultural exposures, biomarkers of exposure, biologic effect, and genetic susceptibility factors relevant to carcinogenesis; and 6) identify and quantify cancer and other disease risks associated with lifestyle factors such as diet, cooking practices, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption, and hair dye use.
