More Evidence of Link Between Parkinson's and Pesticides
The Huffington Post, Posted: February 4, 2010 11:13 AM http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-..._b_449234.html The evidence that environmental factors play a role in Parkinson's Disease is growing. The largest-ever epidemiological study of the ailment, published online in the journal Neuroepidemiology and reported yesterday by Yale Environment 360, shows that the incidence of the illness is extremely high in many parts of the Northeast and Midwest. "These are the two regions of the country most involved in metal processing and agriculture," says Dr. Allison Wright Willis, the paper's lead author and an assistant professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, "and chemicals used in these fields are the strongest potential environmental risk factors for Parkinson's disease that we've identified so far."
