Pesticides being harmful to life is hardly a shocking realization, after all that's what they were designed to do. Yet more research has concluded that children whose mothers are exposed to common pesticides while pregnant develop brain abnormalities directly correlating to the amount of prenatal exposure. It seems quite strange to me that after all the information that has come to light of the dangers to ecosystem health, biodiversity, and human health that using organophosphate pesticides is still as wide spread. If people refuse to demand a change to "business as usual" because of ecological ignorance , then hopefully the fact that unborn children are being mutated by corporate pest control will cause a outcry.
