February 2021

Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Hanyang University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to occupational and environmental factors, particularly pesticide exposure, but measuring this exposure in workers is challenging.
  • A 68-year-old man diagnosed with PD after working in a tomato greenhouse for over 12 years was studied, marking the first confirmed case of work-related PD due to pesticide exposure.
  • The evaluation process ruled out other risk factors and provided evidence of significant pesticide exposure, confirming a causal relationship between the disease and the work environment.
