Understanding the Risks 🧪📊

Research shows that pesticides can disrupt endocrine systems, potentially leading to increased breast cancer risks. “Pesticides, Breast Cancer and You!” dives deep into the science behind these connections. Understanding these risks is the first step towards protecting our health. Are you informed about what’s in your environment? #HealthyChoices #EndocrineDisruptors

Breast Cancer, Pesticides and YOU!

Rural Women and Pesticide Exposure 🌾👩‍🌾

Rural women often face heightened exposure to pesticides through agricultural work and household pest control, putting their health at risk.

A recent report by PANAP found that many women lack awareness about the impacts of pesticide use. Conducted in Bangladesh, India, Laos, and Vietnam, the study revealed that 80.37% of women farmers surveyed sprayed pesticide.

In addition, the study found pesticides such Cypermethrin, Chlorpyrifos, and Imidacloprid, which may increase breast cancer risk.
