Tidstrender i unga mäns exponering för bekämpningsmedel via analys av urinprov Dagligen exponeras befolkningen för en mängd olika ämnen som visats ha egenskaper som kan ge negativa hälsoeffekter och öka risken för bland annat Parkinson’s sjukdom.

Vissa ämnen har förbjudits för användning på livsmedel i Sverige och EU till The increased use of synthetic chemicals in society poses possible harmful risks for the environment and human health.
