Effects of Pesticides on Male Reproductive Functions
Exposure to pesticides could be one of the contributing cause to the falling sperm counts and rising levels of male infertility. Adverse effects of pesticides in the environment first received widespread attention in the 1960s. However, only recently it has been postulated that long term, low exposure of these chemicals are increasingly linked to human health effects such as immuno-suppression,...
متن کاملCytological Effects of Prefixation Treatment
The effects produced by prefixation treatments on cells in metaphase from 10-day mouse fetuses and from several embryonic stages of the frog were investigated. The technical value of some of these pretreatments is noted. Pretreatment with isotonic solutions (both ionic and non-ionic in the case of the mouse, ionic only in the frog) generally produced a similar effect, viz., chromosomal swelling...
متن کاملPESTICIDES: Examining DDT’s Urogenital Effects
A team of researchers has documented a variety of urogenital malformations in male babies born to women living in an area of South Africa where the potentially endocrine-disrupting pesticide DDT is still used. The team, reporting in a study pub lished online 23 October 2009 in BJU International, believes the malformations may be connected to the mothers’ DDT exposure. A global halt to DDT’s use...
متن کاملStudy of Cytotoxic Effects of Benzonitrile Pesticides
The benzonitrile herbicides bromoxynil, chloroxynil, dichlobenil, and ioxynil have been used actively worldwide to control weeds in agriculture since 1970s. Even though dichlobenil is prohibited in EU since 2008, studies addressing the fate of benzonitrile herbicides in the environment show that some metabolites of these herbicides are very persistent. We tested the cytotoxic effects of benzoni...
متن کامل[Delayed effects of organochlorine pesticides in man].
Available information on organochlorines and the chronic effects of exposure to them are set out. Organochlorinated compounds are the most persistent pesticides and can be found in all ecosystems. Although they are generally efficient in pest control, they are also a potent environment pollutant and can provoke health problems in man. The evidences of the carcinogenic potential of organochlorin...
