A review published in Antioxidants analyzes how environmental pollutants, including pesticides, amplify oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and the body’s ability to detoxify them. According to Beyond Pesticides, which reported on the review on September 11, 2026, the authors state that pollutant classes converge on mitochondrial electron transport disruption, NADPH oxidase activation, and redox cycling or Fenton chemistry [1].
The review, authored by M. Gonzalez Acevedo, M. Powers, and L. Cucullo, analyzed evidence published mainly between 2020 and 2025. According to the report, oxidative stress is linked to autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiometabolic disease, neurodegenerative disease, and accelerated biological aging [1].
