New WSU Study Shows Exposure to Pesticide Toxins Creates Disease Risk over 20 Generations

Single prenatal exposure to fungicide linked to disease across 20 generations

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations - with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure.

New WSU study shows exposure to pesticide toxins creates disease risk over 20 generations

Researchers studied rats exposed to a fungicide used primarily in fruit crops and found that a heightened prevalence of disease persisted through 20 generations.

Toxic Exposure Can Trigger Disease for 20 Generations

Your health might be an echo from the past. A new study shows that toxic exposure 500 years ago could be the hidden root of chronic disease today.

Toxic Exposure Drives Epigenetic Disease Risk Across 20 Generations

A groundbreaking study from Washington State University reveals that a single prenatal exposure to a toxic fungicide can trigger inherited health repercussions spanning 20 generations. This unprecedented finding sheds light on the persistent and profound influence of environmental toxins on genetic expression through epigenetic mechanisms, signaling a paradigm shift in our understanding of transgenerational disease […]

WSU Study Finds Fungicide Exposure During Pregnancy May Impact 20 Future Generations

PULLMAN, WA — A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations — with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those are the findings of a new Washington State University study of rats that expands the understanding of how long the intergenerational effects of toxic exposure may last, as they are passed down through alterations in reproductive cells…
