[quote=Anonymous]http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1307044/ Huge increase in ASD in women who lived close to areas where agricultural pesticides were used. Different types of pesticides seem to be linked to ASD depending on trimester of exposure. This is a HUGE finding. No wonder there's been an explosion of ASD in the past several decades. Pesticides are everywhere and are being developed to be stronger and stronger since insects develop resistance to them. Even household pesticides like the kinds mosquito companies spray are implicated in the study. Yikes. I worry about my exposure this spring while visiting my parents (who had their yard sprayed), as I am in my third trimester now :( My other worry is that the very powerful agricultural lobby will shut down any further research into this.
