Chlorpyrifos Linked to Lower IQ in Children
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
New study links common pesticide to developmental issues in children: Research from UC Davis suggests exposure to chlorpyrifos, widely used in agriculture, could lead to lower IQ and attention problems. Children exposed to higher levels showed a decrease in full-scale IQ by an average of 6.8 points and more attention deficit issues. The study could influence EPAs decision on the pesticides safety and emphasizes the need for stricter regulations to protect children from environmental hazards.
