Pesticide chlorpyrifos linked to nearly triple Parkinson's risk, UCLA study finds

A UCLA-led study links long-term chlorpyrifos exposure to about a 2.74-fold increase in Parkinson's disease risk, based on 829 PD cases and 824 controls using California pesticide-use data and residence/work addresses; animal models show dopamine neuron loss and alpha-synuclein buildup with autophagy disruption, which can be mitigated by stimulating autophagy, supporting a likely causal link while noting many factors influence PD and that chlorpyrifos use persists in the US.

Chlorpyrifos Exposure Linked to Substantially Higher Parkinson’s Risk

A UCLA Health study links long-term residential exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos with more than a 2.5-fold increase in Parkinson’s disease risk. Animal tests show chlorpyrifos damages dopamine neurons and triggers brain inflammation via autophagy disruption, suggesting autophagy restoration as a potential therapeutic angle. Despite declines in the U.S., past exposure and ongoing use elsewhere mean monitoring and further research on pesticide-related neurodegeneration are warranted.
