In June of 2014 University of California, Davis stated: “Pregnant women who lived in close proximity to fields and farms where chemical pesticides were applied experienced a two-thirds increased risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental delay, a study by researchers with the UC Davis MIND Institute has found. The associations were stronger when the exposures occurred during the second and third trimesters of the women’s pregnancies.”

The European Union is concerned CCD is caused by the neurological pesticides called neonicotinoids. In 2013 the European Union voted on a 2 year Moratorium of the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in light of scientific studies that indicate their harm to bees.   At the same time, the US did not outlaw these pesticides.  Pesticide companies are now using a that many consider a new generation of these same neonicotinioid pesticides called sulfoxaflor.

A 2012 study released by Charles Benbrook, a research professor at the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University, stated:  “U.S. farmers are using more hazardous pesticides to fight weeds and insects due largely to heavy adoption of genetically modified crop technologies that are sparking a rise of “superweeds” and hard-to-kill insects.”
