Cell Health
Other agricultural chemicals are harmful to the health of cells, such as PCP (pentachlorophenol), DNA fragmentation in animals, and many other chemicals found to cause damage to cell membranes and negatively affect the functioning of mitochondria. These include the insecticide endosulfan and the herbicide paraquat, as well as chemical 2-4-D, dinoseb and prathion.

Two separate reports by the Natural Resources Defense Council (1989) and the Environmental Working Group (1998), revealed that millions of American children wereexposed to pesticides from foods that have exceeded the limits considered safe.
