Farm workers occupational pesticide exposure

In the past decade, however, the occupational health and safety community has directed greater attention to pesticide exposures among workers and then-families. Initiatives, focused on minority workers, women and the children of workers, have also made pesticide exposure assessment a timely topic for scientific invesfigation and medical management. Finally, major new epidemiologic initiatives in both the United States and Canada have given new stimuli to the study of occupational pesticide exposme in farming (Alavanja et al, 1996 Arbuckle et al., 1999).
