Dread of roses: Neurobehavioral effects found in children exposed to flower pesticides.

This study examined children who did not work in agriculture but who lived in agricultural communities in Ecuador. Ref. Source 3d.

Brain and Pesticides

I would think that the wide spread use of pesticides in Ecuador is much different than the use of pesticides in other countries. Taking just one country and trying to make it seem bad in all countries is something I disagree with. If you are going to do a study then study more than one area to get a good cross section.
