Pyrethroid pesticide exposure and placental effects.

ABSTRACT: Human exposures to pyrethroid pesticides have increased in recent years following the bans and sanctions placed on other families of pesticides. Although pyrethroids are currently widely used across the United States and throughout the world, and their overt neurological toxicity classified, the extent of their toxicity through low dose and chronic exposures on humans is less well characterized, particularly when it comes to prenatal exposures, their impacts on neurodevelopment, and any role for the placenta in those effects. In this review, we assess the state of research on pyrethroid pesticide exposure and placental effects. These studies presented hormone disrupting, genotoxic, neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral effects, among others, following prenatal pyrethroid exposures, and hi
