Convergent evidences suggest endocrine or nervous disrupting effects of pesticides, as well as effects on wildlife and the environment. These effects are amplified by the use of surfactants and/or combinations of different active principles. The usual concepts of regulatory toxicology are challenged by endocrine, nervous or immune disruption, or epigenetic effects. Indeed, most pollutants alter cell-cell communication systems to promote chronic diseases. They may accumulate in the food chain. Mixtures effects with other pollutants may change their bioavailability and their toxicity. The lack of scientific knowledge in these matters has large costs for public health. This Research Topic focuses on the toxic effects of pesticides associated with large scale cultivation of genetically modified (GM) plants. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 610 $aBt toxins 610 $aglyphosate 610 $aGM crops 610 $aMultidisciplinary research 610 $aNeonicotinoids 610 $aPesticides 610 $aToxicity 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 700 $aRobin Mesnage$4auth$01328791 702 $aGilles-Eric Seralini$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346742703321 996 $aToxicity of Pesticides on Health and Environment$93038957 997 $aUNINA
