| Abstract/Contents: | Assesses the potential risks posed in using pesticides and suggests that "pesticides are designed to kill or inhibit the growth of a pest, i.e. [that is] fungus, weed, or insect. No matter how 'safe' the chemical is, they still can be hazardous or risky." Focuses on specific pesticides and the risk factors associated with them, mentioning that "there are studies that link certain pesticides to different types of cancer." Briefly overviews research conducted on pesticide use, and concludes that "the papers I highlighted in the article demonstrate that pesticide exposure is likely minimal or not greater than other known carcinogens." |
