Parkinson's Disease Associated With Pesticide Exposure In French Farm Workers.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0604124802.htm ScienceDaily (June 4, 2009) — The cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease, is unknown, but in most cases it is believed to involve a combination of environmental risk factors and genetic susceptibility. Laboratory studies in rats have shown that injecting the insecticide rotenone leads to an animal model of PD and several epidemiological studies have shown an association between pesticides and PD, but most have not identified specific pesticides or studied the amount of exposure relating to the association.
