Cause of pesticide exposure, Parkinson's link: Low-level exposure to the pesticides disrupts cells in a way that mimics the effects of mutations known to cause Parkinson's disease -- ScienceDaily

Previous studies have found an association between two commonly used
agrochemicals (paraquat and maneb) and Parkinson's disease. Now a
professor has determined that low-level exposure to the pesticides
disrupts cells in a way that mimics the effects of mutations known to
cause Parkinson's disease. Adding the effects of the chemicals to a
predisposition for Parkinson's disease drastically increases the risk of
disease onset.
