Individuals Who Apply Pesticides Are Found To Have Double The Risk Of Blood Disorder
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090612163533.htm
ScienceDaily (June 17, 2009) — A study involving 678 individuals who apply pesticides, culled from a U.S. Agricultural Health Study of over 50,000 farmers, recently found that exposure to certain pesticides doubles one's risk of developing an abnormal blood condition called MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) compared with individuals in the general population. The disorder, characterized by an abnormal level of a plasma protein, requires lifelong monitoring as it is a pre-cancerous condition that can lead to multiple myeloma, a painful cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow.

Antibiotics, Antimicrobials And Antifungals In Waterways
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090609122226.htm
ScienceDaily (June 9, 2009) — Antibiotics, antimicrobials and antifungals are seeping into the waterways of North America, Europe and East Asia, according to an investigation published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP). Authored by Université de Montréal and Environment Canada researchers, the review found that consumption of anti-infectives for human and agriculture use contributes to their release into the environment and even into drinking water.

Phthalates And Birth Defects? Doubt Cast On Link Between Environmental Chemicals And Male Urogenital Abnormalities
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090605104540.htm
ScienceDaily (June 6, 2009) — In recent decades, there have been periodic reports of a worldwide decline in sperm count and quality. Male infertility has ostensibly been on the rise, accompanied by increases in testicular cancer and hypospadias -- a congenital defect in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside, rather than at the end, of the penis. Taken together, these three conditions have been termed testicular dysgenesis syndrome.
パーキンソン病と農薬ばく露の関係が明らかに(フランスの農場労働者に対する研究より)
Parkinson's Disease Associated With Pesticide Exposure In French Farm Workers
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090604124802.htm
ScienceDaily (June 5, 2009) — The cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, is unknown, but in most cases it is believed to involve a combination of environmental risk factors and genetic susceptibility. Laboratory studies in rats have shown that injecting the insecticide rotenone leads to an animal model of PD and several epidemiological studies have shown an association between pesticides and PD, but most have not identified specific pesticides or studied the amount of exposure relating to the association.

Water & Wastewater news (June 8, 2009) — Exposure to
estrogen reduces production of immune-related proteins in fish. This
suggests that certain compounds, known as endocrine disruptors, may
make fish more susceptible to disease.
