Use of DBCP and Relation to Infertility

The human trial of chlorpyrifos in Dursban is a neurotoxin and is suspected of being an endocrine disrupter that is widely used in American homes. According to reports, 7,000 accidents occur each year. In 1998, Dow conducted a Dursban test on 60 recruits fed to the prisoners of Clinton Correction Organization in New York in 1960 at the Institute of Lincoln, Nebraska and assessed the impact on humans. . This type of research and experiment is currently illegal in the United States. In 1995, Dow received the report of 249 poisoning cases including pesticide Dursban and did not notify the Environmental Protection Agency that he was fined 732,000 dollars.

Insecticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers benefit farmers worldwide, but they were bombs of the earth's water. Farmers in San Joaquin Valley, California, have been spraying pesticide DBCP on grapes, fruits, and tomatoes for many years, but in recent years they have been found to cause cancer and infertility in humans. Although spraying has stopped, poison does not stop penetrating the formation and entering the groundwater system. A spokesman for the Ministry of Health said, "There is a 35% well in the valley of DBCP." According to Newsweek magazine, in some counties in California, 250 thousand people are at risk of DBCP contamination. Other pesticides will affect the nervous system. Still others are suspected of causing various other diseases. Some herbicides have a serious effect on the brain and are known to interfere with the movement of the victims. These chemical substances also penetrate the aquifer

In some cases, the water quality problem still exists in groundwater, such as 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), where pesticides are no longer used, but are classified as potential carcinogens From the fact that. In other cases, they are the result of a slow accumulation of naturally occurring elements such as arsenic, which can cause blindness, sputum, and cancer, which is a high level Of exposure to radiation. Or, the gradual collapse of infrastructure - due to pipeline leakage, collapse of well water

Currently banned pesticide, dibromochloropropane (DBCP), is known to cause a decrease in sperm count and is currently heavily exposed to pesticides in the workplace. Workers with poorly metabolized polymorphisms have compromised the DNA repair response compared to normal metabolizing colleagues. This study also found that the number of people with inadequate metabolism of farmer groups was significantly insufficient compared to the control group. The authors speculate that people with poor metabolism may quit agriculture as exposure to high pesticide increases the possibility of adverse health effects.
