Interesting study. It's especially interesting given the recent flap over EPA offering low-income families indoor pesticides to use to see what happens to their kids. There is no need for government agencies to inflict pesticides on kids via their studies; we're running that experiment naturally on our own.
Researchers at the University of North Dakota want to know if pesticide exposure affects children's brains. The scientists say it's the first study to look for a possible link between pesticides and children's brain development. Half of the kids in the study live on farms, the other half do not.
