Exposure could occur via several pathways (dermal, inhalation, ingestion), but it was unclear why a 1-week time frame was considered long enough for an acute (but nonpoisonous) cumulative exposure to take place. The amount of IMI that planters were exposed to per seedling was quite low (1% pesticide formulation) compared to formulations reported in the other acute studies, which ranged from 9% to 17%. Assessment of potential dermal and inhalation exposure of workers to the insecticide imidacloprid using whole-body dosimetry in China. 2009). This period was chosen as it overlaps with the sharp increase in prophylactic use of neonics in U.S. agriculture, particularly neonic-coated seeds and soil injections. 2014), greater understanding of metabolite production (Marfo et al. Because of the small number of heterogeneous studies and disparate outcomes assessed we did not conduct a meta-analysis or attempt to rate confidence across the body of studies. 2014; Yang et al. 2014; Yang et al. The acute poisoning studies did, however, elucidate clinical findings important for the diagnosis and treatment of acute neonic exposures, including a better understanding of neonic toxicokinetics in humans. Based on current trends, neonic use is likely to increase due to expanded application of seed treatments for crops in which they are not yet predominant (e.g., soybeans and wheat) and a change in the “standard” seed treatment from the lowest (0.25 mg/seed) to the highest allowable rate (1.25 mg/seed) (Douglas and Tooker 2015). Neonicotinoids (sometimes shortened to neonics / ˈ n iː oʊ n ɪ k s /) are a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine. 2014). neonicotinoids in honey on vertebrates, includ-ing humans, is considered negligible, a signif-icant detrimental effect on bees is likely for a substantialproportion ofthe analyzed samples, as adult bees rely on honey for food, including during periods of overwintering or … Pounds of pesticides used within a 500-m radius of each subject’s geocoded address during the relevant window were calculated. Exposure assignment differed among the studies as well.

They estimated pesticide exposure based on data from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, which described daily applications for the 461 pesticides studied (23,883,704 over the 10-year study period). Only Marfo et al. Widespread occurrence of neonicotinoid insecticides in streams in a high corn and soybean producing region, USA. Risk of bias was assessed using guidance developed by the National Toxicology Program’s Office of Health Assessment and Translation. A study using more sensitive analytical techniques than those used by the USDA prior to 2013 also reported finding multiple neonics in several fruits and vegetables (seven apple varieties, oranges, cantaloupe, and spinach) and in five organic honey samples (Chen et al. Three examined the acute health effects of neonic poisonings, including the clinical outcomes of self-poisoning (Forrester 2014; Mohamed et al. 2014), which became significant when the analysis was limited to self-reported frequent users (AOR 2.0, 95% CrI: 1.0, 3.9). To be eligible for inclusion, studies needed to comply with the criteria specified by the PECO statement (Table 1). Keil et al. Selective toxicity of neonicotinoids attributable to specificity of insect and mammalian nicotinic receptors. Neonicotinoids in the Canadian aquatic environment: a literature review on current use products with a focus on fate, exposure, and biological effects. 2014; Keil et al. Overall rating: Tier 3, probably high risk of bias, low to moderate confidence. The goal of this systematic review was to identify relevant human population studies on the health effects of neonicotinoids. Forrester (2014) examined cases reported between 2000 and 2012, Phua et al. Pesticide Monitoring Program: 2011 Pesticide Report. Neonicotinoid pesticides are causing significant damage to a wide range of beneficial species and are a key factor in the decline of bees, say scientists. et al. The proportion of males to females also differed among the studies: 77% of the neonic cases in Phua et al. 2015; Chen et al. Eight studies investigating the human health effects of exposure to neonics were identified. Neonicotinoids should not pose any threat to humans if they are used according the product label and stored in places not accessible to children. In recent years, neonicotinoids and their metabolites have been successfully detected in various human biological samples. Currently more than 90% of all corn and 44–50% of soybeans are grown from seeds coated with neonics, and they are used extensively on other cereal and oil crops and fruit and vegetables as well (Aginfomatics 2014; Chen et al. Neonicotinoids are currently the most widely used pesticides in the world, and frequently make headlines because of their harmful effects on honeybees and other insect pollinators. 2013; Kimura-Kuroda et al. Of the 101 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, only 9 cases were exposed to IMI (Carmichael et al. Suggestive association between residential proximity to agricultural use of IMI and anencephaly (AOR 2.9, 95% CI: 1.0, 8.2). 2013). Exposure/outcome assessment differences. et al. 2009). They have a … The RoB questions covered biases in subject selection, quality of exposure assessment, attrition or exclusion of subjects, detection of outcomes, selective reporting of outcomes, and statistical methodology. Data collection timeframes overlapped among the studies, but differed widely in number of years included. In addition, the reference lists of relevant records were searched to capture articles that may have been missed in the database searches. In vivo/vitro studies suggested toxicity of neonicotinoids. The truth is, pesticides are dangerous and people should be … Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil. Significance . Neonicotinoid insecticides have become the fastest growing class of insecticides over the past few decades. (2009) between 1987 and 2007, and Mohamed et al. 2014). Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers. Three of the four acute exposure studies—two retrospective analyses of poison control center data (Forrester 2014; Phua et al. Nicotine-like effects of the neonicotinoid insecticides acetamiprid and imidacloprid on cerebellar neurons from neonatal rats. 2014). The acute poisoning … Despite the potential for extensive human exposure, there are limited studies regarding the prevalence of neonicotinoid residues in foods sold and consumed in the United States. However, there are still unknown effects of these pesticides and more and more are created every day. Of these, 76 were excluded on the basis of title and abstract. They have a … 2014; Cycoń and Piotrowska-Seget 2015; FDA 2014; Hladik et al. 2015; Gu et al. or possible effects the parasite may pose on bumblebees (but see Graystock et al., 2013; Fu¨rst et al., 2014). They are much more toxic to invertebrates, like insects, than they are to mammals, birds and other higher organisms. (2009); however, the average age differed significantly between the severely symptomatic group versus those who were asymptomatic or had mild to moderate symptoms, reported as 67 versus 49 respectively (p = 0.008). Monitoring health implications of pesticide exposure in factory workers in Pakistan. 2009). There is a major gap in knowledge concerning the effects of field-realistic exposure to neonicotinoids on other pollinator taxa, such as bumblebees. In the developing brain, this subtype is involved in neural proliferation, apoptosis, migration, differentiation, synapse formation, and neural circuit formation (Chen et al. 2015). effects associated with neonicotinoid exposure include developmental and reproductive effects in mammals (Abou-Donia. Although the studies required for pesticide registration showed neonics to be less toxic to mammals than to insects, toxic effects such as an increase in cancerous liver tumors in mice were noted (U.S. EPA 2000; Gibbons et al. 2014). (2009), in which 81% of the cases were coded as suicide attempts, and Mohamed et al. Researchers also reported that neonicotinoids could have similar effects as nicotine on the developing human brain [39,40,41]. The name literally means “new nicotine-like insecticides”. Elfman et al. (144 KB) PDF Click here for additional data file. The neonicotinoids are highly effective insecticides with low toxicity to humans, but this unnecessary overuse is also driving the development of pest resistance against them. Therefore, the neonicotinoids may adversely affect human health, especially the developing brain.” The bottom line is that these neonicotinoids are neurotoxins not only to insects – including bees. 2009; Mohamed et al. Significant association between residential proximity to agricultural use of IMI and tetralogy of Fallot (AOR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 5.4). 2014). Exposure assessment. The bottom line is that they help prevent economic loss by preventing pest infestation safely and effectively. 2012; Main et al. Bumblebees play a major Population differences. Limitations of this review include the possibility of missing data (studies published in languages other than English) and potential publication bias. Ideally, future neonic-human health studies should strive to be more comprehensive in controlling for environmental and genetic factors as potential confounders or effect modifiers. Acute human self-poisoning with Imidacloprid compound: a neonicotinoid insecticide. The following search terms were used: “neonicotinoids AND human health”; “imidacloprid OR clothianidin OR thiamethoxam OR acetamiprid AND human health”; “neonicotinoids AND occupational exposure/adverse effects”; “neonicotinoids AND environmental exposure/adverse effects”; “neonicotinoids AND maternal exposure”; “neonicotinoids AND prenatal exposure”; “neonicotinoids AND migrants and transients”; “neonicotinoids AND neurological development”; “neonicotinoids AND fetal development”; “neonicotinoids AND teratogenicity”; “neonicotinoids AND bioaccumulation”; “neonicotinoids AND biomagnification”; “neonicotinoid metabolites AND human health”. 2009; Keil et al. Even the most severe outcomes, including two fatalities, may have been mediated by other factors (age, underlying health conditions, undetected coexposures). [48] A study conducted in tissue culture of neurons harvested from newborn rats showed that Imidacloprid and acetamiprid, another neonicotinoid, excited the neurons in a way similar to nicotine , so the effects of neonicotinoids on developing mammalian brains might be similar to the adverse effects of nicotine. 2011; Mason et al. 2015). 2015; USDA 2014). Exposure was then assigned dichotomously (any or none). 2014; Keil et al. Therefore, the neonicotinoids may adversely affect human health, especially the developing brain.” The bottom line is that these neonicotinoids are neurotoxins not only to insects – including bees. Four general population studies reported associations between chronic neonic exposure and adverse developmental or neurological outcomes, including tetralogy of Fallot (AOR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 5.4), anencephaly (AOR 2.9, 95% CI: 1.0, 8.2), autism spectrum disorder [AOR 1.3, 95% credible interval (CrI): 0.78, 2.2], and a symptom cluster including memory loss and finger tremor (OR 14, 95% CI: 3.5, 57). The neonicotinoids affect the human central nervous system. 2014). The median age of ingestion cases was 54 in Phua et al. All terms were searched using both controlled vocabulary [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in PubMed] and free text words in titles and abstracts. The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in U.S. agricultural production has grown dramatically in the past decade (Douglas and Tooker 2015; Hladik et al. 2014). Molecular studies and assay tests of human tissues, cells, and genes. 2014); 650 cases of NTDs (785 controls) (Yang et al. Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates. 2015; Chagnon et al. 2012; Mason et al. 2014; Douglas and Tooker 2015; Hladik et al. Sample sizes varied, from 19 planters in Elfman et al. (2014) included several classes of pesticides but noted they did not correct results for multiple comparisons, increasing the potential for type 1 (false positive) error. Carmichael et al. 2014). Studies did not assess neonic exposure separately from other pesticide classes. They are neurotoxic to humans as well. The scientists suggested that these results “confirm the exposure of bees to neonicotinoids in their food throughout the world.” In Europe, since a ban on clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam went into effect in 2014, farmers have been using other pesticides (such as organophosphates) that are more toxic to humans and bees. 2014); the third examined maternal use of flea and tick medication containing IMI from 3 months before conception through 3 years of age (Keil et al. The nasal secretions were monitored for inflammatory response, which could be the result of other variables. 2009), greater understanding of absorption and elimination variability (Marfo et al. Large-scale epidemiological studies on human health effects are needed. (2009). The investigation, a double-blind crossover study in which cases served as their own controls, followed 19 planters of conifer seedlings treated with either IMI or another insecticide or left untreated. Because of the special selective action on nAChRs in central nervous system of insects, and versatility in application methods, neonicotinoids are used to protect crops and pets from insect attacks globally. As was described above, starvation is a sub‐lethal effect of neonicotinoids at lower concentrations. Ten of the 46 neonic-only cases developed severe symptoms, defined as requiring intubation and intensive care, versus 36 who were asymptomatic or had mild to moderate symptoms and required only supportive care. (2014) did not control for air pollution, which is considered a possible risk factor for ASD. Forrester (2014) suggested neonics might differ in their levels of toxicity to humans, observing the serious outcome rate for IMI poisoning was higher than for dinotefuran or nitenpyram. One of IMI’s breakdown products, desnitro-imidacloprid, for instance, has a high affinity for mammalian nAChRs, is known to be highly toxic to mice (Chao and Casida 1997), and can be formed either in a mammal’s body during metabolism or in the environment (Koshlukova 2006). Studies published in English between 2005 and 2015 were searched using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Certain neonic metabolites have been found to be as or more toxic than the parent compound (Chen et al. They are considered to have low toxicity for vertebrates because of relatively low affinity for vertebrate … Keil et al. Worryingly, effects are also being displayed in birds, bats, aquatic organisms and related ecosystem services. 2015; Bonmatin et al. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. Human exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides and the evaluation of their potential toxicity: An overview. Neonicotinoids, neonics for short, are a class of synthetic pesticides used to prevent insect damage on a variety of crops. Specific aims included evaluating the risk of bias (internal validity) of relevant studies, determining the extent to which findings could be synthesized across studies to reach level-of-evidence conclusions (NTP 2015) for any associations reported between neonicotinoids and human health, and addressing research implications based on that evidence. Effects of imidacloprid on human health and the environment depend on how much imidacloprid is present and the length and frequency of exposure. In response to these concerns, a group of 232 scientists published an open letter to policy makers in the journal Science, calling on other countries around the world to also restrict the use of neonicotinoids. 2014; Keil et al. 2015; Simon-Delso et al. The other four studies analyzed the health effects of chronic (i.e., nonacute) environmental exposure to neonicotinoids (Carmichael et al. (2009), in which 82% were confirmed (by the patient or a relative) as suicide attempts. More recent in vitro and in vivo studies as well as ecological field studies indicate neonics can have adverse effects on mammals, including at sublethal doses (Calderón-Segura et al. Cancer Assessment Document. The three poisoning studies all reported IMI was the most common neonic used in self-poisonings (n = 884 IMI; n = 99 IMI in combination with other chemicals). Alteration of the density of this neuroreceptor subtype has been found to play a role in several central nervous system disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and depression. articles may not conform to Meanwhile, many studies have focused on the health effects of neonicotinoids on humans. 2009). 407 children with ASD recruited from Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and Environment (CHARGE) Study/206 controls. 2014; Yang et al. In this systematic review, we sought to identify human population studies on the health effects of neonics. (2009) may have been too small to detect IMI health effects, biasing results to the null. 2014). Of the 1,142, 77% were identified as IMI alone or in combination with other neonics. 2015; Yang et al. †Address correspondence to M.J. Perry, Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University, 950 New Hampshire Ave., 419-Floor 4, Washington, DC 20052 USA. 2008; Gibbons et al. Final Report 20 June 2000. 2014), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Keil et al. Neonicotinoids have been detected in human urine, serum, and hair. The EFSA stated in its release: A validated biomarker for IMI would enable more accurate exposure assessment (Elfman et al. They shared similar limitations, most of which were related to case–control design. Pesticides have been associated with short- and long-term effects on human health, including elevated cancer risks and disruption of the body’s reproductive, immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, 2 as well as malignant melanoma. Confounding. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first systematic review of the literature on human health effects of neonicotinoids. 2014). Southeast Farm Press. Neonicotinoids, a new class of insecticide, are nicotinic receptor agonists. humans are exposed to certain neonicotinoids – imidacloprid, for example, will be absorbed and ... fruit.8 However, in an evaluation of the effect of neonicotinoids on bee populations, authors determined that despite the decline in colonies in North America and Europe, globally managed bee colony stocks have increased by 45% in the last 50 years. (2014) was based on monthly application of a flea and tick product containing IMI (Advantage and K9 Advantix, which contain ~ 9% IMI) from 3 months before conception, each trimester of pregnancy, and each year of the child’s life up to age 2. These insecticides are supposed to be more targeted than non-systemic pesticides. 2012; Mason et al. 2014) shared a focus on associations between neonics and developmental outcomes. Adverse effects of pesticides residues on biochemical markers in Pakistani tobacco farmers. Sample size. Neonics have been found to affect mammalian nAChRs in a way that is similar to the effects of nicotine (Kimura-Kuroda et al. Although Elfman et al. 2009). Immune suppression by neonicotinoid insecticides at the root of global wildlife declines. Cases of self-poisoning with ACE (n = 8), THX (n = 6), and CLO (n = 5) were few in comparison (Phua et al. They are highly effective against difficult-to-control sucking, boring, and root-feeding insects (Goulson 2013). So far, many in vitro and in vivo lab studies have shown the potential toxic effects of neonicotinoids, including reproductive toxicology, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity/hepatocarcinogenicity, immunotoxicity, genetic toxicity, and so on, yet limited epidemiological studies on the effects of neonicotinoids in humans are available.
