Pesticide exposure linked to 60-70% higher ALS risk, research shows

Workers exposed to pesticides face significantly elevated risk of developing ALS and other debilitating motor neuron diseases, with potential long-term health consequences.

For generations, agricultural workers have carried the weight of feeding the world on their backs — and now science suggests they may also be carrying something far more sinister in their nervous systems. New research has established a 60 to 70 percent elevated risk of ALS and motor neuron disease among those regularly exposed to pesticides, with chlorpyrifos emerging as a particular concern across decades of accumulated evidence. These findings reframe occupational chemical exposure not merely as a workplace hazard, but as a quiet driver of one of medicine's most devastating diagnoses — one t
