First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tested over 1,000 newborns in the Picardie region of France to see if they were exposed to common pesticides before birth. Researchers measured pesticides in the baby's first stool (meconium) and in the mother's hair, and asked mothers about their exposure. The goal was to map pesticide exposure across the region and see if it relates to birth outcomes like weight and length.
