Brain Damage by Design A recent study from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health has revealed a disturbing link between prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos, a widely used insecticide, and lasting changes in brain structure and function.
The research, published in JAMA Neurology, highlights the potential risks associated with CPF exposure, not just for farm workers but also for pregnant women and their unborn children.
The study followed 270 African American and Latino children born to mothers with detectable levels of CPF in their umbilical cord blood.
