RE: Agricultural Pesticides Do Appear To Cause Birth Defects, But Only When Exposed To Extreme Amounts
I used to drive through a huge plantation (I think it was chicory) to go to work, whenever I saw the crops being sprayed I wondered about the local residents and how detrimental it was to them. I never stopped to think about the pregnant women though. I am now asking myself if their exposure would count as extreme! I always enjoy reading your posts @justtryme90. I have actually been going through your older ones :)
Best.
It's a good question. You can see that a lot of the people in this area that was studied we're exposed to quite a bit of pesticides. Only 5% were classified under the highest category where effects we're observed.
Let's hope not.
