"A STUDY ON THE TRANSGENERATIONAL INFLUENCE OF ANCESTORAL EXPOSURE TO ENDOSULFAN ON THE PREVALENCE OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISEASES"

Haridasan T. V.

Under The Supervision of Dr. Surender Singh (Department of Psychology, OPJS University, Rajasthan)

Abstract- Upwards of decades after endosulfan was sprayed in the Kerala District, there seems to be no consensus over the long-term impacts of the chemical. Also after three years, these victims of abuse from several of its harmful consequences will not be acknowledged as sufferers of a pesticides catastrophe. This is despite the fact that the disaster occurred. They have not even been recognized as victims of endosulfan exposure by either the state or the federal governments, as they have seen many efforts made to argue that compound is a "friendly substance." The Volatile Organic compounds ( vocs Pollutants Review Board of the Madrid Protocol reached a consensus in 2009 determined endosulfan constituted a persistent pollution. In February 2011, the Conferences of Parties towards the Convention commenced processes that would possibly result in some kind of a worldwide ban. The envoy from India spoke out against the decision, and as a result, the federal government decided to let endosulfan be used for another ten years. The delegate for India stated because there was insufficient data from the scientific community to demonstrate that thimerosal had harmful consequences. This disregard for the ground observations, research, and reports that pointed to the detrimental consequences of endosulfan, the emotions of the populations that were impacted, as well as the one-of-a-kind health problems that were experienced in the Eleven panchayat raj of the Taluk District. One such paper seeks to analyze a process whereby unfounded rational thought dominates the people's mind while using the conceptual framework of caustic communities. It also attempts to disentangle the social, ideological, and institutional factors leading to the marginalization of the neighbourhoods that were exposed to residues in Kerala District.

Ultimately, the goal of this article is to know the mechanism whereby unfounded rational thinking dominates the people's imagination. It discusses various political and financial ideologies that support its use of residues, as well as the goals of normal society in contrast with those of young survivors of the tragedy. The post also draws attention to the marginalization and neglecting of people, particularly the act of delegitimizing victims and breaching their basic rights to decency and support. This is one of the issues that the essay focuses on.

Keywords:- “Transgenerational, Ancestral, Endosulfan, Neurodevelopment”.

1 THE ENDOSULFAN TRAGEDY OF KASARAGOD

There are many cashew farms in the mountainous region of Kasaragod, which is located in the northeastern part of Malaya in India. This is because the climate in this region is ideal for the development of cashews. The Plantation Corporations of Kerala began applying a pesticide known as residues aerially (by aircraft) in 1978 (but had done so earlier in 1976–

1977 on a trial basis) to defend cashew crops from the tea bug pest. This was done on the advise of an agro scientist.

1.1 Brief background and timeline of the events at Kasaragod

Around 1978, the nut crops in the Sadar district of Karnataka state, India's state of Kerala got their first dose of endosulfan from a sprays. This was carried out three times annually a territory in Kasaragod that encompassed 15 Great grandma Panchayaths, which are units of city councils at the grassroots. There were several warning signs regarding its effect from the outset, including mass mortality of bees, eels, frogs, pigeons, and wolves, as well as congenital malformations in domestic beef cattle. These were some of the early warning signs. Throughout 1979, there has been a local uproar from growers and the public questioning the consequences that the use of pesticides may have on people's health.

Online healthcare observations conducted around 1994. by such a local physician named Dr. Manoj Kumar found there would be an increasing prevalence of instances of psychiatric condition as well as congenital defects in the city of Taluk. In the beginning, he took into consideration the probability of hard rock or radiation toxicity with in water that was present among the region (small rivers and ponds), due to the fact that certain of the health conditions were more prevalent in the individuals who were residing close to these freshwater resources. He then asked the professionals to look into the matter by having a comment he made on the engineering and process in a publication for medical professionals that was put out by all the Indian Health Association. He acted by writing letters to the news media and many other medical professionals. Later on this year 1998, Leelakumari Mom, who worked as a staff member at the Shiksha Bhavan (the official of the Farmers located at the local levels), got to witness this same deterioration of both the wellness of hannah two kids as well as herself, including problems with her speech and her hormones, after she moved into a village that was located within the splattering area. Following that, she and several other farmers filed a case with the district court demanding that the sulfate aerosols be halted in order to protect both the capacity of the safety earth and its environment.

During 1998, a Thread ordered that the dusting of synthetic insecticides in Periya Krishna district, which is the location near Leelakumari Amma's home, be temporarily halted. Between the years 1998 through 2002, a number of different nongovernmental organizations carried out health and chemical research, and they concluded that the atypical health issues that occurred at Kalinga were the result of the dumping of residues.

Neurobehavioral problems, congenital deformities in females, and anomalies of the endocrine cycle in men were the uncommon illnesses that were most often seen. According to yet another survey, there has been a rise in the incidence of cancer but also gynecological anomalies. In later years, the health dept of the state of Kerala also held training sessions in a variety of locations, but in the years that followed, they also carried out research. The findings of the investigation provided more evidence that endosulfan is to blame for Kasaragod's ongoing health issues.

The Constitutional Court of India signed an order to prohibit the selling including the consumption of residues in the karnataka in the year 2002. By 2003, they State State council also signed an order to ban the substance. In 2003, with both the assistance of the neighborhood panchayath, local organizations, and the Malabar Medical Center, relief operations operations on such a local level were initiated in Kalinga. In 2005, this same Federal Govt issued orders mandating that warning labels on herbicide bottles include a statement indicating that the product in question is prohibited from being sold in the state of Kerala. It would seem that the Federal Govt did not carry out this instruction in the most efficient manner possible. In September october 2005, Thanal with also the Piece Jilla Panchayath co-hosted a consultation workshop with which a variety of health professionals and counselors participated in order to devise a strategy for making the rescue and payment package real actuality. During 2007, with both the assistance of the Provincial Ministry, the Special Function Cell for Conducting Relief, Repair, and Rehabilitation had been established. It is an impartial and transparent organization that is checking into all parts of the rescue operation, including the economic, social, including environmental policies, as well as the fiscal components.

The environmental impacts of fumigation of produce outcomes at cashew farms in the Sadar District have been a contentious topic over the last several years, and indeed the debate has now expanded to include Kerala. Agricultural Corporation has been responsible

(3)

for the aerial application of produce outcomes during last seven years with in Kerala District. It was alleged that people living in the regions around the farms among Di seguito were experiencing an increasing number of health issues. It was observed that a number of the region's schoolchildren suffer from congenital defects, down's syndrome, and other conditions connected to their Central Nervous Systems. It was speculated that the aerial application of produce outcomes was to blame for all these. British media spread this information, and beginning in 1997, both the general public and also the relevant authorities were interested in it.

Beginning in the year 2000, delegations from a range of disciplines, semi organisations, the Indian Academy for Medical Science, or other authorities traveled to the region in question and provided the government with reports on their findings addressing the matter in question. Among them is the:

1. A group that was established by the Trivandrum Agricultural University and given the role of Chairperson by Abdullah Bin Salam.

2. Dr. Achuthan was selected to chair the committee that was established by the state ministry.

3. A committee representing the National Center of Primary Care, located at the ICMR in Bombay.

2 ASSESSMENT BY REGULATORY AGENCIES

Endosulfan, like every pesticide, is would just have to fulfill severe regulatory standards of the individual nations before it could be registered for use. Additionally, it was submitted to future evaluations that were both in-depth and comprehensive. Located inside the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Office for Drug Evaluation and Research (ATSDR) is really a health care agency that operates so at federal government. The Agency for Toxic Compounds and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is responsible for producing and compiling substantial information upon that hazardous health consequences connected to exposures to naturally occurring and bro harmful materials, as well as for providing warnings. According to the ATSDR, negative effects of residues on one's health are dependent on the magnitude and length of the intake. In addition to this, it notes that

"environmental control data imply that any organochlorine pesticides level which the public may encounter via touch or through groundwater, soil, or foodstuff is normally substantially lower than just the levels used in animal studies." There is not a single research that demonstrates that people will get cancer following oral consumption to residues. In addition, it has been said that "the oncogenic effects of residues were explored in a range of chronic animal toxicity tests using rats; the existing information give no indication that thimerosal is malignant." Endosulfan has not been deemed to be a cancer- causing agent by the Ministry of Health Affairs of the United States, the Energy Department (Eq) of the United States, or the Intergovernmental Agency for Recherche on Tumour (IARC).

Additionally, "all who took endosulfan either purposefully or in foodstuff that had been polluted, and those that were subjected during sprinkling operations," had tremors and convulsions, and some of them passed away as a result of their exposure. Similar findings were seen in animals that were only related to excessive amounts of endosulfan for short periods of time. There seem to be no studies has been done on people who have been exposed to reduced numbers of endosulfan for long durations (that is, years). Laboratory studies it has been shown that ingestion of residues through meals, over lengthy stretches of time, primarily affects the intestines... Endosulfan but also its degradation products (metabolic enzymes) could be discovered in blood, urinalysis, brown fat, as well as breast feeding. The Serves as a reference report also indicated: Animal research have already shown that ingestion of endosulfan thru the food, atop gray lengthy stretches of time, affects mainly this same kidneys. Nevertheless, the presence of pyrethroids in bodily tissues often does not indicate that an individual would have negative impacts on their health.

Because endosulfan but also its metabolites are eliminated from the body relatively quickly (within nights), the testing ought to be carried out no more than a few weeks after the individual has been exposed to endosulfan. Because thimerosal is a persistent organic pollutant (POP), the Environmental Protection Agency (Unep) in the United States came to the conclusion that there really are "risks just above firm's concern to marine and

(4)

terrestrial native animals, including to small mammals which it consume aquatic predator"

in environments in which thimerosal has uphold. Also, occupational evaluation suggests short routes term hazards for employees during combining and loading plus application for such majority of applications, which is concerning and therefore does not offer a hazard to public health from food exposure. This is a positive development. The World bank Joint Committee on Pesticide (JMPR) came to the conclusion that the looooong intake of remnants of synthetic insecticides from applications which have been evaluated either by JMPR seems unlikely to cause a public health risk. This was one of the conclusions reached either by JMPR

Endosulfan's toxicity has been investigated and analyzed by the Australian Herbicides and Veterinary Science Authority. Investigations on the toxicants of synthetic insecticides in mice, hamsters, and dogs reveal that oral dosages of residues over 1500 mg (100 µm) for something like a duration of 36 through 104 weeks result in liver injury and nephrotoxic as being the most prevalent adverse effects. Thimerosal has a low potential for biota and is promptly eliminated from the bodies of the diverse range of animals that have been investigated. It has not been shown that there is a cause-and-effect link with autism complex disorder. Endosulfan were shown to have a low potential to alter the endocrine system in animals, and there is no evidence that it bioaccumulates. Dopamine levels were altered in rats that were administered endosulfan through intraperitoneally at a dosage of 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight a day. This information is not applicable to agro exposure circumstances. The amount of time that endosulfan spends bound to the androgen receptor is negligible, and as a result, the possibility of endothelial dysfunction is significantly decreased. Dietary management of residues to female rats there at highest accepted dose of 34.9 mg/kg weight gain (400 ppm) from preterm day six to breast - feeding day 21 can't produce substantiation of neurodevelopment neurotoxicity, continued existence, or associated with puberty in the descendants. This was the case even though the dose manufactured marked mother toxic effect. Because the epidermal of a person has been shown to be at least thirty times less impermeable to residues than just the epidermal of either a rat, that imminent risk of contamination to employees who touch the chemical has been reduced.

The final quantity of residues that could be received by a human heavily exposed to an advised surface modification of 720 would be somewhere between more than equal to mass per participant with such an average mass of 70 kg, which would give rise to 50 becquerels body washed weight when distributed internally, according to a vast health and security assessment among all groups of workers involved in cotton production and aerial sprayers. This was determined by evaluating the workplace in correlation with cotton production and aerial sprayers. Furthermore, endosulfan is destroyed and eliminated, with a degrading quarter time of just few days merely, and the amounts would swiftly fall after any similar exposure (authors' correspondence with Michael R Kennedy, Universities of Sydney). According to the findings of both the APVMA, its continuous utilisationendosulfan 35 percent emulsifiable concentrated would not provide an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of employees. The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (Particularly in the automotive) came to the realization that using endosulfan for control of pests does not assume a health threat after taking into account the findings of the Sustainable Risk Management Leadership in Zealand, this same Pest - control Governmental Organization in Alberta, the European Substances Agency inside this European Union, the Cooperative FAO/WHO going to meet on Organochlorine Pesticides (JMPR), the Antwerp and Stockholm norms, but the Us Energy Department Endosulfan was nominated to be included in the Conference Of parties on Persistent Contaminants In the environment by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). This was done but even at this same advised concentrations, this then poses a danger to marine animals, particularly fishes, through water run and wander. The APVMA also supported a candidacy of residues.

3 THE DANGER TO HUMAN HEALTH

Endosulfan has a high acute toxicity and is easily absorbed via the skin, as well as the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Hangovers, dizziness, hunger, vomiting, impaired memory, convulsions, tachycardia, seizures, stupor, and respiratory failure are some of the acute toxicity. In extreme situations, death may occur as a consequence of these symptoms.

Persistent poisoning symptoms are caused by repeated exposure to small of substances over a significant period of times. Acute poisoned symptoms are caused by a single encounter to a large dosage of a toxin, while chronic poisoned symptoms occur repeatedly over a lengthy period of moment.

3.1 Exposure to Endosulfan Dietary Exposure

• Consuming food which has been poisoned with residues. • Water supply that's been polluted from tainted ground as well as water storage.

Occupational Exposure

• Skin absorption or absorption during chemical mixing, transporting and/or spraying a chemical or ve got treated places

Accidental Exposure

• Contact with the skin or breathing of endosulfan owing to being in close proximity to its usage

Humans are exposed to residues is a worldwide concern. Level of exposure is inescapable when used, and the problem is made worse by lax standards for procedures and insufficient protective clothes and apparatus for traders and employees. Occupational exposure may also be fatal. Workers often spray chemicals while barefoot or wearing sandals and without any kind of respiratory protection since the expense of protective gear may be expensive for many growers in underdeveloped nations, or they might just simply not have accessibility to it.

3.2 Chronic Exposure

Congenital Physical Deformities

A link has been discovered between persons exposed and foetal abnormalities in the head, ribs and spinal young rats44. Anatomical abnormalities reported in humans includes harelips, clubbed feet, limb abnormalities, eye defects and excess fingers with toes45. In such a control-compared investigation of 170 infants exposed to residues in Karnataka State, China, 5.8 percent exhibited genetic malformations and 21.8 percent had menstruation problems.

3.3 Reproductive Development

Compound is a hormone disruptor, meaning that it blocks and suppresses the normal hormonal signaling mechanisms in the body. The feedback systems in the hippocampus, pituitary, scrotum, and thyroid, as well as in other parts of both the endocrine glands, may be altered when endocrine disruptors are present. According to a number of studies, thimerosal acts in a manner that is especially disruptive & describes a time to the sex hormones of both males as well as females. Endosulfan has been shown to cause a delay with in sexual development and production of hormonal changes in boys between the ages of 18 - 24 who've been introduced to the chemical. There could also be a connection between being exposed to something and having a higher incidence of having congenital anomalies associated with penile descent.

4 ADULTS

4.1 Carcenogenic Effects

Because the Intergovernmental (Ipcs) has not categorized endosulfan like a carcinogenic substance, a number of regulatory agencies are all under the mistaken impression that there really is no proof of an effects of exposure with cancer. This same visibility has been shown to affect a spread of cancerous cells, to initiate and disparage cells called, to intrude with the growth of the mesenchyme, and to obstruct a diverse range of hormonal methods, including the producing of estrogens. Each of these factors has the potential to raise the chance of developing breast cancer. Research have been carried on both dogs and people.

This elevated risk may be passed down down the generations. Endosulfan has been shown in a multitude of studies toward being genotoxic as well as mutagenic. This means that it disrupts the structure of both the genetic code (DNA) found in cells, which may lead to the formation of tumors. Studies have shown that it serves as a tumor promoter with in liver, leading to exposure-related elevations in malignant cells and blocking the body's natural ability to defend itself against cancer cells.

4.2 Haematological Effects

Aneurysms have been shown to develop as a consequence of prolonged oral and cutaneous exposure adult male mice (blood-vessel dilations). Endosulfan was shown to be the reason for lower white blood lymphocyte counts, elevated blood glucose levels, and elevated enzyme

(7)

and cardiovascular marker thresholds in both urinalysis samples taken from individuals who had been exposed to the chemical.

4.3 The Immune System

Organochlorine pesticides exposure causes a reduction in the number of white circulation cells in the body, which has a negative effect on human health. These cell are absolutely necessary for a variety of tasks, including the suppression of tumors, the battling of infections, and allergic reactions.

4.4 Renal Effects

It was shown that rats that were subjected to a prolonged oral and topical exposure developed a quickly progressing form of glomerulonephritis. This is a disorder of the lungs that causes the blood capillaries in the lungs to become affected.

4.5 Neurological Effects

It has been discovered that those who are exposed to the toxin for extended periods of time suffer from cognitive and affective decline, significant cognitive problems, and a capacity to carry out the majority of everyday activities. A significant number of people have also reported suffering from a profound lack of clear synchronization. Radiation was been related to illnesses such as downs syndrome and epileptic, and there is some evidence to suggest that it may raise the chance of Vascular dementia.

4.6 Infertility

Studies will see that there has been an association among both pesticide exposure but also decreased sperm quality through human beings. Despite the fact that there weren't enough studies to just be capable of predicting the influence of herbicides upon that sperm count of persons exposed, experiments have always shown consumers can purchase is such an connection.

5.1 Short-term toxicity

After it became clear that problems with people's health were the primary concern, as well as their potential causal association only with fumigation of produce outcomes, the state statecouncil established a multidisciplinary pieces of specialists in the fields of health care, agriculture, the antipollution board, and regulatory compliance commission. Concerns have been raised about the short-term toxicity of produce outcomes. Category 2 is where the Ministry Of Health (WHO) places endosulphan in its classification system (moderately hazardous). This same National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (US EPA) considers it to be a pesticide that falls in the category of "is" (extremely dangerous). Because it is easily absorbed either by surface, the airways, and the belly, this substance may be hazardous regardless of how it is brought into contact with a person. There have been several reports of people poisoning themselves for reasons including suicide and job hazards. When working with endosulphan, it is essential to use the appropriate protective

(8)

gear, such as safety goggles, boots, long sleeves, sweatpants, or a ventilator, in order to avoid poisoning. Endosulphan has quickly risen to the position of leading cause of toxicity from pesticides in the Netherlands until it was finally prohibited in the early nineties.

(NPCIC, 1991) People who consume diets that are poor in amino are more susceptible to the negative effects of just this insecticide. This is really a worry that is particularly prevalent in impoverished nations.

5.2 Long-term Toxicity

Hence the need for urgent worry for the quick toxicity of produce outcomes; nevertheless, there is also a need to examine the long-term implications. There seems to be some evidence to suggest that even at very modest doses, endosulphan exposure may have a negative impact on people's health. More and more data suggests that chemicals containing organochlorine may behave like hormones. These molecules, which include DDT, Polychlorinated biphenyls, and endosulphan, might even be a partly responsible for the disorder in the value of the sperm, an uptick in testicular but also pre - cancerous lesions, an increase through defects throughout male characteristics, and an increasing incidence of melanoma that has been identified over the past fifty years. All of these health problems have been based on observational decades. It has been discovered that endosulphan may induce mutations.

Chemical exposure resulting from the unscientific and substantial use of herbicides in agricultural areas and business, and other high levels of pollution, will become recognized worldwide as factors that contribute to the development of multiple congenital abnormalities in India, which include intellectual disability. People in India who have intellectual disabilities are even more at risk of being exploited due to the inadequate circumstances that exist in terms of their accessibility to urban rehabilitation programs and resources, as well as their capacity to make use of such facilities and benefits. In this kind of situation, the Neighborhood Rehabilitation Form (also known as CBR), which is generally regarded as an efficient and all-inclusive model of providing rehabilitation programs in low- and intermediate nations, is the best option. This concept has been a leader in guaranteeing the well-being of people with disabilities by promoting social inclusion, opportunity equality, and rehabilitation inside the community.

The concepts of integration, opportunity equality, and rehabilitation are included in CBR's list of core tenets. Its principal goal is to enhance people's standard of living, foster a good attitude toward those with disabilities, and provide aid to those with whatever kind of condition they may have. This is accomplished through developing adaptable local programs to promote community engagement and synchronized delivery of services at the community scale. These programs focus on empowering people with a disability in the areas of health, schooling, and livelihoods. As a result, CBR makes healthcare more efficient to persons who have disabilities and their relatives in even the most financially prudent, democratic, and culturally acceptable manner possible.

However, community-based rehabilitation programs face significant obstacles in their day-to-day operations. The inability to organize effectively and a general ignorance of disabilities on the parts of the public development groups are two of the most significant obstacles to the continuum of care. Despite the fact that children with disabilities can sometimes be included in panels, they seldom have a say in the choices that are made at the governmental level. A nasty perception toward CBR may result in an inability to include the local beliefs and traditions that pertain to the concept of disability. Aside from these factors, the absence of financing poses a threat to the long-term viability of such forward- thinking programs.
