How can diazinon affect children?
Diazinon affects the nervous system in children and adults alike. Therefore, children exposed to diazinon will likely experience the same signs and symptoms observed in exposed adults (see above). However, we do not know whether children are more susceptible than adults to diazinon toxicity. There is no evidence that environmental exposure to diazinon causes birth defects or other developmental effects in people. In animals, exposure levels that affected the health of the pregnant mothers caused developmental effects in their newborn babies.
