Article Synopsis
- A new study in the French West Indies examines the connection between chlordecone pesticide soil contamination and cancer rates in Martinique from 2006 to 2019, using a more sensitive contamination indicator.
- This study analyzed data from 23,218 cancer cases, finding that women exposed to higher soil contamination levels showed an increased risk for several cancers, including lung and thyroid cancer, while no significant correlation was observed for breast or prostate cancer.
- The findings suggest that women in Martinique are disproportionately affected by chlordecone exposure, highlighting the need for ongoing research into the environmental impacts of pesticides on public health.
