Compare And Contrast Organoichlorines And Organochlorine Pesticides

different, so they are being compared and contrasted with the organochlorine pesticides in this review. One study found that these other pesticides were linked to mal-nutrient transport in fetuses with lead to a less mature placenta1, 4, 7. This effect is detrimental to the baby’s physical and cognitive development1. Additionally, mothers who ate a higher amount of fruits and vegetables that contained a high pesticide residue, had lower chances of getting pregnant and less successful births, even if they were going through treatment for infertility2. There is also evidence of mothers who were exposed to pesticides during their pregnancy, to have children who develop leukemia5. The pesticides on this study were not organochlorines but were considered as residential pesticides that were used on land and farms of family homes. …show more content…
Modes of Exposure In addition to the different types of pesticide that are out there for women to be exposed to, it is also important to evaluate the different ways of exposure there are in order to analyze whether one way of susceptibility is more harmful than the other. This review looks at food exposure, indoor pesticide exposure, and outdoor pesticide exposure methods and which one may be potentially more harmful than the other. Both of the studies included in this review that experimented with the food mode of exposure, revealed lower probabilities in pregnancy and live births2. The studies that examined indoor pesticide exposure, such as bug sprays, concluded a lower placental maturity rate, loss in nutrient transport between the baby and the
