What pesticides are potential cancer causing compounds?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified 64 pesticides as potential cancer-causing compounds. 80 percent of our cancer risk is due to 13 pesticides that are widely used on 15 important food crops. The pesticides are linuron, permethrin, chlordimeform, zineb, captafol, captan, maneb, mancozeb, folpet, chlorothalonil, metiram, benomyl, and Ophenylphenol.

These pesticides are used in many crops and animal products, but those of greatest concern, in descending order, are tomatoes, beef, potatoes, oranges, lettuce, apples, peaches, pork, wheat, soybeans, beans, carrots, chicken, corn, and grapes.

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.
