Exposure to pesticides pregnant linked to pediatric infection
The new report shows that the residues of pesticides and chemicals that have been children before birth may lead to inflammation in the lung and the voice of whistling in the chest.
DDE is a compound of harmful pesticides are found in many places around the world, known as DDT, are absorbed in the body of a person when eating contaminated food or by breathing dust contaminated with it.
The study was published in the Journal of the European respiratory, and showed high levels of infants who were exposed to DDE and they grow in the womb of their mothers had the highest rates in terms of pneumonia and bronchitis.
Martin said Mishqihid associate professor at the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Spain, told Reuters that "we found the risk of infection and whistling chest increased with increasing exposure to DDE".
Mishqiheind and his colleagues took blood samples from a large group of pregnant women in Spain, was measured over the three women are exposed to different pollutants.
The researchers asked the mothers at a later time, when the children were about a year old, is the exposure of children to respiratory problems or infections of the lung.
The team found that about 35 percent of 1342 children suffered pneumonia during the first year of life, and increased the risk along with higher levels of DDE in the blood of the mother.
Between Martin Frajehaad that when there were low levels of DDE, was only 30 percent of children infected.
According to the researcher, the new study is the largest type of sexually transmitted infections. Resulted in mixed results of previous work, and so far did not prove the relationship between exposure to infection and DDE Long considerably during the first year of the child in life.
DDT was used widely to kill mosquitoes and prevent malaria outbreaks. Was to prevent use in the United States of America, in 1973.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people exposed to large amounts of a substance DDT, suffer from tremors, a heart, sweating, headache, vomiting,. But the symptoms disappear when the person away with him.
Martin said Frajehaad told Reuters Health that it is difficult to avoid chemicals such as DDT and DDE, which are stored in a large concentration of fat and the upper part of the food chain.
He said: "The one way to reduce exposure by reducing the consumption of fatty foods and increase consumption of vegetables and fruits", "This does not mean we should stop eating meat, dairy or certain types of fish, but we just have to take up a balanced diet."
