Details
- A study by British scientists has found farmers are at high risk of developing Parkinson's disease from exposure to pesticides.
- The research did not identify which chemicals posed the greatest threat, but found farmers were up to 43 per cent more likely to develop the disease.
- Professor Malcolm Horne, from Melbourne University's Howard Florey Institute, says the study is a significant development.
- "It's really the first time that it's been demonstrated that there genuinely is an increased risk associated with pesticide," he said.
- "There's been this long standing suspicion that pesticide could cause Parkinson's disease.
- "According to this report the risk is substantial, particularly in people who are likely to have high exposure such as farmers."
