Chem Trust has published a review report of research studies that link pesticide exposure either prior to conception, during pregnancy or in childhood to an increased risk of childhood cancer, with maternal pesticide exposure during pregnancy being most consistently associated with childhood cancer. Further, the report notes that several studies indicate that farmers are at greater risk of developing certain cancers than the general population.
