A Common Pesticide Keeps Showing Up in Parkinson’s

New findings: living near chlorpyrifos raises Parkinson’s risk more than 2.5-fold.

Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used pesticides on earth. The new UCLA work, published in Molecular Neurodegeneration, found it damages the exact nerve cells that Parkinson’s destroys.

Not a correlation buried in noise. A direct hit on the neurons that control movement.

We’ve been told these exposures are safe below a threshold. The people living next to the fields are telling a different story.
