Long-term exposure to Atrazine may lead to which problems?

• A. Heart disease
• B. Hair loss
• C. Kidney and reproductive problems
• D. Vision problems

Answer: (C)

Atrazine is a herbicide that behaves as an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can interfere with hormonal signaling in the body. When exposure occurs over a long period, this disruption can affect the kidneys and reproductive system, leading to problems with kidney function and reproductive health (such as altered fertility or developmental effects). That combination—kidney and reproductive issues—is the most consistently linked long-term health risk in exposures typical of environmental settings, which is why it’s the best answer. Heart disease, hair loss, and vision problems aren’t the primary long-term concerns associated with Atrazine exposure.
