A study published in *Nature Health* reports a statistical link between environmental exposure to mixtures of agricultural pesticides and higher cancer risk in Peru. Using modeled pesticide dispersion from 2014 to 2019 and cancer registry data from 2007 to 2020 covering more than 150,000 cases, researchers found that people living in high-exposure areas faced, on average, about a 150% higher likelihood of cancer, with Indigenous and rural farming communities among those most exposed.

Researchers from George Mason University have reviewed evidence suggesting that neonicotinoid insecticides, the world's most widely used pesticides, may harm male reproductive health. Based on 21 animal studies, the review found consistent links to reduced sperm quality, hormonal disruption, and testicular damage. The findings highlight the need for further human studies amid widespread exposure through food.
