New Research Confirms Neurotoxicity of Pesticide Synergist PBO
http://www.enewspf.com/latest-news/science-a-environmental/34236-new-research-confirms-neurotoxicity-of-pesticide-synergist-pbo.html "Researchers at the Duke University School of Medicine have developed a laboratory screening system for detecting neurotoxic chemicals and successfully tested it on more than 1,400 potential toxicants. The study confirms the high toxic activity of the chemical piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a chemical "synergist" used to increase the potency of more than 700 insecticides, including synthetic pyrethroids widely used in mosquito and community spray programs and for home use. The study, entitled "The Insecticide Synergist Piperonyl Butoxide Inhibits Hedgehog Signaling: Assessing Chemical Risks," was published in the May 2012 edition of the journal Toxicological Sciences."
