Pesticides and farm kids
RURAL HEALTH Study documents degree of pesticide exposure in farm families A new study from University of Minnesota and Emory University shows the vast majority of spouses and children who live on farms that use certain pesticides, do not show an appreciable level of increased exposure to the chemicals. The bio-monitoring study, released today, is the most comprehensive assessment to date of pesticide exposure for farm families. The children and spouses of the 95 families that participated in the study typically had pesticide exposure levels comparable to levels measured in people who do not live on farms. The study also measured the amount of exposure for the farmers doing the applications. Results varied by the chemical being applied and by the handling and application techniques used. http://email.agriculture.com/cgi-bin...6TI0TM0FRBO0AH ================ haiku error message seen on a computer ....: Three things are certain.
