DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2019.07.010
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Previous investigations found elevated mortality after breast cancer in association with biomarkers of persistent organochlorine pesticides in non-occupationally exposed women. We hypothesized that lifetime residential pesticide use, which includes persistent and non-persistent pesticides, would… read more here.
