Prenatal pesticide exposure tied to lower IQ in children
By Sarah Yang, Media Relations | April 20, 2011
BERKELEY ‹
In a new study suggesting pesticides may be associated with the health
and development of children, researchers at the University of
California, Berkeleyıs School of Public Health have found that
prenatal
exposure to organophosphate pesticides * widely used on food crops *
is
related to lower intelligence scores at age 7.


I think I work with those children....
