Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, we examined the relationship between the exposure to organophosphate and neonicotinoid pesticides and the ADHD tendency in children at school age. Organophosphorus pesticide metabolite and neonicotinoid pesticide were measured from the collected urine sample and it was examined whether these concentrations increase the odds ratio of ADHD tendency of children. As a result of the logistic regression analysis, a significant association was observed between the concentration of DMTP and the ADHD tendency.
