- Exposure to pesticides during pregnancy is linked to serious congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects (NTDs), raising concerns about human health.
- The study conducted a systematic review of 229 articles, ultimately focusing on 8 relevant studies that investigated the relationship between pesticide exposure and NTDs during pregnancy, using various methodologies.
- Pesticides such as DDT and endosulfan were prominent in the analysis, with maternal serum showing the highest concentrations, suggesting significant maternal and embryonic exposure, though variations in study methods and confounding factors make comparisons challenging.
Dicamba has been used worldwide for 60 years, but few studies have been conducted on its environmental safety and health effects. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the acute toxicity, teratogenic effects, oxidative stress, and neurotoxicity of Dicamba in zebrafish embryos. Embryos were exposed to concentrations of 4.
