Household pesticides and ADHD  

 SnipImage

A study shows commonly used household pesticide with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and young teens. This is why the government is trying to stop the sale of pesticides to the public. Pesticide exposure and ADHD, particularly in terms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, rather than inattentiveness is associated in boys more than girls.

Animal studies suggest a heightened vulnerability to the effects of pesticide exposure on hyperactivity, impulsivity and abnormalities in the dopamine system in male mice. Dopamine is a neurochemical in the brain thought to be involved in many activities, including those that govern ADHD.
