Pesticide Poisoning
A pesticides poisoning happens when humans come in contact with pesticides by swallowing ,inhaling, absorption through the skin.Possible symptoms are eye tearing, coughing, heart problems and having difficulty breathing. Pesticide poisons is particularly harmful to children because their brain and nervous system are at a crucial stage of developing.As their bodies continue to grow, children will have less natural defense which can later cause serious health problems.

Birth Defects
Birth defects are deformation changes that are shown at birth that can affect any part of the body.It can affect how the body looks like, works or both.Pesticides exposure during certain types of doses are connected to several birth defects,Early on experiments have shown that active ingredients in pesticide is holoprosencephaly(HPE).Humans are affected by this malformation most commonly.Pesticide exposure can lead to throughout a pregnancy is a high risk of birth defects, low weight and deaths.Different types of pesticides changes the levels of neuroproteins, alter gene expressions which can lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities.Pesticides can also harm the reproductive system, like killing or hurting the cells which can lead to infertility.It has been implicated to cause miscarriages ,premature birth, reducing fertility in both men and women, alteration sex ratios and serval of developmental defects.The exposure to pesticides in the first few week so of pregnancy can be the most dangerous in the pregnancy. Research has shown that children exposed to pesticides over time can face health risk like birth defects, neurodevelopment delays & cognitive impairment, childhood brain cancers, autism spectrum disorder(ASD),attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(AD/HD) and Endocrine disruption.

Neurodevelopment Delays & Cognitive Impairment
The children that suffer from cognitive impairment are children who have a hard time comprehending and adapting to new environments are significantly below the average for their age.Cognitive development can also be called intellectual disability, cognitive impairment, or cognitive/intellectual disorder.

Childhood Brain Cancers
Pediatric brains tumor is a form of tumor in which the abnormal cells that grow in a child’s brain or nearby the tissue or structure that are near it.Several different types of  pediatric tumor that exists are noncancerous(benign) and some are cancerous(malignant).Inflammation, hormone disruption, and DNA damage all increase cancer risk. Research suggests that children are particularly vulnerable because their organs are still developing.

Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)
Autism spectrum disorder is an abnormality of the brain that causes a development disability.People that have ASD sometimes have problems with social communication and interaction and behaviors or interests restricted or repetitive.Certain types of pesticides changes the level of neuroproteins, altering gene expression which leads to neurobehavioral abnormalities.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(AD/HD)
A common childhood neurodevelopment disorder is ADHD.It is first diagnosed in childhood then last into adulthood.Children that have ADHD often have trouble with paying attention ,controlling impulsive behaviors or excessively active.It has been shown that certain pesticides interfere with the function of the brain's dopamine system, which is responsible for emotional expression and cognitive function, and may also increase the risk of childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Endocrine Disruption
Endocrine disruptors are substances or mixtures that cause adverse health effects on intact organisms, their progeny, or populations or subsets.It has been shown that pesticides bind to hormone receptors, affect hormone synthesis or clearance, interact with neurotransmitters, and cause other effects by mechanisms that are still unclear.
