What health risks do pesticides pose?

The major long-term health risks include the potential to cause cancer and birth defects, while the major health risks of acute intoxication include vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision, tremors, convulsions, and nerve damage. The evidence for the cancer-causing capabilities of pesticides in animals is inadequate, and the formal opinion of many "experts" is that they pose no significant risk for the public or the farmer. Yet, more and more human evidence is accumulating of increased cancer and birth defect rates after pesticide exposure, which seems to indicate that pesticides are not as safe as the "experts" would like us to believe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
