In another example, California agricultural workers who were exposed to the pesticides mancozeb and toxaphene had increased incidences of leukemia compared with those not so exposed j8°l In this instance as well, the workers were exposed to other pesticides and toxic chemicals. 

In a study of 109 references given in a chapter (Mrak and Mackinney) devoted to this topic, the five leading journals are Food Industries, now Food Engineering, California Agricultural Experiment Station, circulars. Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry (London), Food Technology, and Advances in Food Research. The latter is issued annually. In all, 30 different journals comprise the sources used in this chapter.
