odds of motor delay in the lowest PBO exposure group, prenatal exposure to PBO seems to have an impact on cognitive rather than motor development, which is quite worrisome because mental development scores are more predictive of school readiness."

As this is the first study of these compounds, the results should be considered preliminary but, Dr. Horton notes, they do - raise a cautionary red flag about the use of these chemicals during pregnancy. And, she adds, research at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health, indicates that "integrated pest management and the non-spray application of lower toxicity pesticides are viable alternatives to the use of these spray pesticides for pest control."

"This is an important study with potentially broad public health implications," according to Dr. Robin Whyatt, Mailman School professor of clinical environmental health sciences and a co-deputy director at the CCCEH. "Further, it identifies a critical need for additional research."
