In es… Study Finds Exposure to Breast Cancer Chemicals, Including Pesticides, Is Ubiquitous23.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 23, 2026) A study of breast cancer linked to chemical exposures has undertaken an ambitious process to develop a picture of just how exogenous chemicals threaten human breast health, finding that “exposure to potential breast carcinogens is ubiquitous.” The study integrates data from rodent studies of mammary tumors, in vitro analyses of chemicals’ effects on reproduct… Study of Thyroid Cancers Finds Environmental Contaminants, Including Pesticides, in Tissues of Tumors22.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 22, 2026) A study of environmental risks factors for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), published in Environment International, finds hundreds of environmental chemicals in human thyroid cancer tissues. The results suggest that certain compounds may contribute to thyroid cancer carcinogenesis. The authors report: “This pilot study screened for and characterized envir… TODAY’s Forum Speaker’s Honey Bee Research in New Book; and, Renowned Speaker on Pivotal Health Studies21.října Image: Art of Life submission from Jesse Yow, “Honeybee Pollinating Citrus Blossom.” (Beyond Pesticides, October 21, 2026) Concerns about threats to biodiversity and ecosystem health will be top of the agenda of the National Forum TODAY (October 21), Advancing Science on Pesticides, Taking Action in Harmony with Nature, and Sustaining Life, where the coauthor of a recently published book in the s… Similar to Previous Studies, Researchers Find Pesticides Affect Liver Function20.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 20, 2026) How does occupational pesticide exposure impact hepatological (liver) health? Researchers at Hanoi University of Public Health, in a study in Diseases, a journal of Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), identify significant increases in liver biomarkers among fruit farmers relative to non-exposed community members. With the understanding that… Behind Closed Doors: Will Democrats Allow the Farm Bill To Repeal Health and Environmental Safety Law?19.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 19, 2026) A clarion call for action is circulating to people and organizations nationwide, mounting a nationwide campaign to stop bipartisan, closed-door Congressional Farm Bill negotiations by leadership in the Agriculture Committees that are reportedly underway. These secret meetings are taking place just one month after the Senate Democrats in a unanimous vote rejected the GOP Farm Bill, drafted outside the usual negotiated process. In its action, released Saturda… With Co-exposure to Microplastics, Adverse Ecological Effects of Pesticides Intensify, Studies Find16.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 16, 2026) Published in International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, a comprehensive review highlights how microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are “pervasive soil contaminants with significant potential to alter the environmental fate and ecological impacts of co-occurring pesticides” in terrestrial systems. The research demonstrates that MNPs enhanc… Organic Apple Production Reduces Hazardous Nitrogen Pollution in Review of Field Studies15.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 15, 2026) Is there an environmental and public health benefit to organic apple orchards when compared with conventional ones? A new meta-analysis published in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment by researchers in Germany reviews 68 published studies and finds significant declines overall in nitrate pollution from organic operations. The literature review finds an u… Novel Study Correlates a Reduction in Sperm Counts in Men with Neonicotinoid Insecticide Exposure14.října (Beyond Pesticides, October 14, 2026) A study of neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) adds to the wide body of science on adverse reproductive health effects from pesticides and specifically correlates higher concentrations of NEOs and their metabolites in seminal plasma (semen fluid) with lower levels of sperm cells. As the study, published in Frontiers in Endocrinology, reports: “Neonicotinoid ins… |
