TABLE 2.
Different types of pesticides to the neurodegenerations risk for human (modified from Kori et al., 2018).
Organophosphate (chronic exposure) | ||
Occupational exposure (farm workers) |
Genetic tendency to a less efficient detoxification of paraoxonase, an enzyme detoxifying the organophosphate pesticides Neurological impairment (attention, remembrance, reaction time and deficits in neurobehavioral performance) Delayed polyneuropathy Worse performance in neuropsychological functions (attention, reasoning, memory, perception, visuomotor skills, expressive language and motor performance) Neurological symptom (dizziness, sleepiness and headache) Headache, giddiness, ocular symptoms and Paraesthesia. Reduced motor conduction velocity and serum AChE levels |

Occupational and residential exposure | Some neurological and neuropsychiatric effects on adults (ADHD, anxiety, depression disorder) Reduce in the verbal memory, motor speed and motor coordination Significantly higher anxiety and depression in exposed population Lower neurobehavioral performance like learning test, symbol-digit, reaction time Slower response on neuropsychological performance like processing speed, attention Serum acetylcholinesterase was significantly lower, neurological abnormalities Headache, hypertension, anxiety and depression disorders High depressive symptoms, headache and dizziness Sensory and vibration thresholds were higher, neurological symptoms |

Occupational as well as accidental exposure | Acute and chronic OP exposure is associated with affective disorders Suicide rates are high in farming populations | London et al., 2005 |
Organochlorine and pyrethroid (chronic exposure) | ||
Occupational exposure (farm workers) |
Deterioration in neurocognitive performance Parkinson’s disease Alteration in hematological parameters Abnormal cranial nerve function, and motor strength |
Hansen et al., 2017 Elbaz et al., 2009 Lu, 2009 |
Occupational and residential exposure | Neurotoxic properties Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), neurodevelopmental disorders Acute poisoning and alterations of the digestive, neurological, respiratory, circulatory, dermatological, renal, and reproductive system Alzheimer’s disease Risk of Alzheimer’s disease Decrease in Mental developmental Index scores |

Chronic exposure of mixture of pesticides (organophosphate, carbamate, organochlorine, and pyrethroid) | ||
Occupational exposure (farm workers) |
Higher anger-hostility, depression-dejection, tension-anxiety and lower vigor-activity | Zhang et al., 2016 |
Occupational and residential exposure | Neurotoxic symptoms Depressive symptoms Somatization, obsessive–compulsiveness, interpersonal sensitivity, depression and anxiety Association between pesticide exposure and depression More inhibition of cholinesterase activity Respiratory, eye disorders. Inhibition of cholinesterase activity and central nervous system problems |
