ADHD linked to pesticides
New research suggests a possible link between children’s attention-deficit disorder and exposure to common pesticides used on fruits and vegetables. The study found detectable levels of pesticide compounds in the urine of almost all the children studied. The kids with higher levels had increased chances of having ADHD, a common problem that causes students to have trouble in school. The children may have eaten food treated with pesticides, breathed it in the air or swallowed it in their drinking water. Experts said the research is well done, but more studies will be needed to confirm the connection is more than chance.
