'Without full access to all performed toxicity studies, there can be no reliable safety evaluation of pesticides by E.U. authorities,'​ researchers warn in a new study.

"Without full access to all performed toxicity studies, there can be no reliable safety evaluation of pesticides by E.U. authorities," the researchers warned Thursday."Rules should be amended so that future studies should be commissioned by authorities rather than companies. This ensures the authorities' knowledge of existing studies and prevents the economic interest of the company from influencing the design, performance, reporting, and dissemination of studies.

"Decreased weight gain, delayed sexual maturation, and deteriorating motor activity were among the side effects reported in adult offspring in the studies," the outlet continued."Of the nine pesticide compounds, four have now been taken off the E.U. market, while another four are currently under review."

"It is outrageous and unbelievable that a good fraction of these studies do not make it to the authorities as required by law," Axel Mie, another study co-author, told."There must be legal consequences and serious ones for the companies if they do not follow the law."
