Glyphosate is widely spread in the environment, the general population is daily exposed to it via different routes, including the consumption of both plant, and non-plant based foods.

The GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS results indicated the presence of multiple pesticides, nonylphenols, triclocarban, and triclosan. Many of these compounds exhibit estrogenic activity, which may explain the positive YES assay findings. These findings showed that wastewater from the facility contained detergents, disinfectants, and pesticides and displayed hormonal activity.

F0 dams were treated with Gly or a GBH through a food dose of 2 mg Gly/kg bw/day from gestational day (GD) 9 up to lactational day 21.

Preclinical studies indicate chronic excess copper exposure is associated with altered motor function, dopaminergic neuronal loss, astrocytosis, and microgliosis. Copper also promotes oligomerization and fibrilization of α-synuclein suggesting it may hasten the course of an α-synucleinopathy. Here we report a rare case of early onset Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism in a 53-year-old Caucasian woman exposed to copper contaminated drinking water for more than 10 years. Her hair and that of her daughter had streaks of blue-green discoloration as did the porcelain sinks in their home. Testing confirmed copper contamination of the drinking water. A neurologist diagnosed her with Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism. Skin biopsy for phosphorylated α was consistent with a diagnosis of an α-synucleinopathy. These findings suggest chronic exposure to excessive copper may act as disease modifying factor in Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism. It has previously been recommended that individuals at risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) avoid excessive intake of copper. Genetic studies indicate that Lewy Body Dementia shares risk factors and pathways with AD.
