UA research shows bacteria produces chemical that kills nerve cells. Dirt could contribute to the development of Parkinson's disease. A team of UA researchers, along with a lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, found a common soil bacteria that produces a chemical that kills nerve cells in laboratory tests. Tuscaloosa News, Alabama. 6 October 2009.
St. Jude Hospital study links Parkinson's, bird flu. In a study offering tantalizing clues into the origins of a devastating and mysterious ailment, researchers concluded that people who survive a strain of bird flu have a significantly greater risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Nashua Telegraph, New Hampshire. 20 September 2009.
Work use of pesticides linked with Parkinson's. U.S. researchers said on Monday they had made more links between the use of pesticides and Parkinson's disease, but said they only found a higher risk for people who use the chemicals as part of their job. Reuters. 15 September 2009.
Pesticides in well water linked to Parkinson's disease. Farmworkers and their families endure health effects from the hundreds of millions of pounds of pesticides and fumigants dumped onto fields near their homes annually and now these pesticides in well water have been linked to Parkinson's disease. Los Angeles Times, California. 6 August 2009. [Registration Required]
Rural well water linked to Parkinson’s; California study implicates farm pesticides. Rural residents who drink water from private wells are much more likely to have Parkinson’s disease, a finding that bolsters theories that farm pesticides may be partially to blame, according to a new California study. Environmental Health News. 5 August 2009.
Study singles out pesticide in Parkinson's risk. The first evidence suggesting an association between pesticides and the degenerative brain disease Parkinson's came out in the 1990s, but the current findings are the first to finger a specific chemical: Beta-HCH. Reuters Health. 18 July 2009.
'Raised pesticide level in blood' linked to Parkinson's. Previous studies have found higher than normal levels of organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the brains of Parkinson's patients. But the new research is the first to highlight a specific pesticide chemical in the blood. London Daily Mail, United Kingdom. 15 July 2009.
Parkinson's linked to high levels of pesticide in the body. Parkinson's sufferers are more likely to have significant levels of a pesticide in their body than healthy people, a new study has found. London Daily Telegraph, United Kingdom. 14 July 2009.
Parkinsons risk 'from raised pesticide level in blood'. People with raised levels of a particular pesticide in their blood may have an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, research published yesterday showed. Press Association. 14 July 2009.
Alzheimer's disease could be triggered by brain toxins. Emerging evidence indicates that toxic environmental exposures, in combination with nutritional, social, and exercise factors, may play a major role in the development of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other degenerative diseases, according to Philip Landrigan, MD. Kitsap Sun, Washington. 21 June 2009.
More evidence links pesticides to Parkinson's. A new study confirms the link between on-the-job pesticide exposure and Parkinson's disease, and suggests that certain insecticides may be particularly risky. Reuters Health. 20 June 2009.
Exposure to commonly used agricultural pesticides may increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, particularly among people who have certain gene types. The degenerative nerve disease can develop when dopamine levels in the brain are lower than normal. Without pesticide exposures, susceptible gene variants alone were not sufficient to increase risk. The increased risk to Parkinson's required both susceptible genes and pesticide exposure. 14 May 2009. More...
A recent study conducted in California’s Central Valley found that people who lived near fields sprayed with a combination of pesticides used on crops such as potatoes, dry beans and tomatoes had an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. These results add to the growing literature suggesting that exposure to multiple chemicals may be more harmful than exposure to individual chemicals and contribute to the debate of evaluating chemical safety one at a time rather than in combination. 27 April 2009.

Parkinson's partially linked to pesticides. UCLA researchers have provided strong new evidence linking some cases of Parkinson's disease to exposure to pesticides. They reported that people who lived next to fields where maneb or paraquat had been sprayed were about 75% more likely to develop the disease. Los Angeles Times, California. 20 April 2009.

Parkinson's rate jumps in province. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease has risen dramatically in Manitoba over the past two decades. Although the precise cause of Parkinson's is unknown, researchers believe it's a combination of genetics and an environmental trigger. Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba. 27 March 2009.
Study bolsters link between Parkinson's disease, pesticide. For years, researchers have suspected commercial pesticides put people at risk for Parkinson's disease. Now evidence in the San Joaquin Valley suggests it's true. Fresno Bee, California. 17 November 2008.
Environmental factors are key drivers in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, according to a comprehensive review of how the environment affects aging. Relevant environmental influences include common dietary patterns, toxic chemical exposures, inadequate exercise, socio-economic stress and other factors. These influences can begin in the womb and continue throughout life, setting the stage for the later development of neurodegenerative as well as other chronic diseases. Environmental threats to healthy aging. Published by Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility. 28 October 2008.
Seeking justice for veterans. Veterans fight to have Parkinson’s declared service connected to Agent Orange International Falls Daily Journal, Minnesota. 26 April 2008.
Potato fields, pesticides and Parkinson's. While a lot of research on pesticides and disease has focused on cancer, including childhood cancers, there is growing evidence that exposure to weed and bug killers is linked to Parkinson's disease. Toronto Globe and Mail, Ontario. 25 April 2008.
Study confirms Parkinson's-pesticides link. Results of a family-based, "case-control" study support a relationship between exposure to pesticides and the development of Parkinson's disease. Reuters Health. 19 April 2008.
Parkinsons disease linked to pesticides. In another cautionary tale about the potential danger of toxic pesticides, scientists have published a new study on further evidence of a possible link between Parkinson's disease and long-term chemical exposure. Daily Green. 31 March 2008.
Pesticide Parkinson's link strong. There is strong evidence that exposure to pesticides significantly increases the risk of Parkinson's disease, experts believe. BBC. 29 March 2008.
Pesticides increase risk of Parkinson's disease. Regular exposure to pesticides can more than double the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, scientists say. London Daily Telegraph, United Kingdom. 29 March 2008.
