Abstract | |||
"""We are collecting dust samples from homes of cases and controls in an ongoing study of childhood leukemia in northern and central California. We evaluated levels of pesticides and other chemical levels in carpet dust and risk of childhood leukemia. We also conducted a series of exposure methods studies including comparing dust sampling methods, self-reported pesticide use to measurements of pesticides in homes, and development of metrics to estimated agricultural pesticides by geographic proximity to agricultural crops and pesticide use data.""" |
