Pesticides and farm kids
"Oz" wrote in message ... 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. I know a lady who had a son in 1997. He was born blind and disabled and has since died. She said this was caused by the spraying of Benzomate on brussel sprouts in a nearby field, while she was pregnant, IIRC. (What is Benzomate? Is it still used?) |
