“…01 for all tested parameters). These results are supported by previous biochemical studies that showed alteration of such biomarkers in experimental animals and humans exposed to organophosphorus insecticides, profenofos (51,53) , fenitrothion (54,55) , chlorpyrifos (56) and diazinon (57) . Co-administration of water extract of cinnamon to profenofos treated rats (group 4) daily for 30 days along with profenofos residues greatly prevented the deviation in the liver function indices in relation to profenofos residues treated rats (group 3).…”

“…Modern pesticides are reported to cause acute health effects in respondents exposed to high doses with unspecific symptoms such as headache, dizziness, respiratory problems, nausea, vomiting and eventually death. Furthermore, the data addressing potential adverse effects of long-term exposure to moderate pesticide levels suggest a wide variety of adverse health conditions, including central nervous-, reproductive-and immune system disorders, as well as cancers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

There is also circumstantial evidence on the association of exposure to pesticides with chronic diseases like respiratory problems, dermal disorders, cardiovascular disease, nephropathies, chronic fatigue syndrome and aging [1]. Since health-workers are not adequately trained to identify adverse effects of pesticides [22,23] and because of the Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to assess whether long-term exposure to pesticides is associated with adverse health effects in professional pesticide sprayers. Methods:The study was conducted in Lake Eyasi Basin and Ngarenanyuki in Arusha region, during the dry season in September-October 2013. In a cross-sectional study, 97 short-term exposed men with at most three months as professional sprayers were compared with 60 long-term exposed men with experience of at least five years as professional sprayers. The study participants were aged 18-30 years, drawn from the same source population and interviewed using semi structured questionnaire. The questions focused on spraying procedures and on present and recurrent medical history including presence of selected six known pesticide induced health conditions. Results:Organophosphates, carbamates, dithiocarbamates and pyrethroids were the most applied insecticides but also organochlorine fungicides and endosulfan were frequently applied. The majority of the sprayers reported unsafe pesticide use. Mean pesticide uses in litres, spray frequency per crop and per week were 637, and 1.3 respectively for about 270 days a year. Respiratory disease symptoms were the most frequently reported (46/157; 29.3%) followed by skin (27/157; 17.2%), and sight (24/157; 15.3%). When adjusted for age and other predictors, long-term exposed sprayers had significantly higher self-reported occurrences of peripheral neuropathy (OR=7.7, CI95%: 1.045-56.728, p=0.045) and respiratory disorders (OR=0.2, CI95%: 0.067-0.501, p=0.001) compared with short-term exposed. Furthermore, 10 sprayers, all long-term exposed reported poor libido and erection problems. Conclusions: These findings document lack of safety knowledge, safe pesticide management and the implementation of protective measures as well as suggesting that long-term exposure to pesticides increase the risk of experience disease conditions compared to short-term exposure.

“…These findings are in agreement with a number of previously reported similar stu dies. [26][27][28][29][30] A recent study, using mice as a model animal, revealed that deltamethrin (a synthetic pyrethroidpesticide) caused decrease in total proteins. 31 The dec-180 rease of serum proteins, especially albumin, might be due to alteration in protein metabolism of free amino acids and their production in liver under the influence of pesticides.…”

Background: In recent decades, use of pesticides in agricultural practices has posed threat to human population. Objectives: Present research was designed to explore the adverse effects of insecticides on 339 individuals (study group farmers n = 256 and control n = 83) selected from 62 different sites of central Punjab. The sample was matched on socio-economic status and age. Methodology: A structured questionnaire was used to
