Working with pesticides impacts women’s fertility
Women with potential exposure to pesticides at work or at home took longer to get pregnant than women without pesticide connections.
Pregnant women living in a migrant, farmworker community in California participated in the study. Although all women were pregnant, women who worked in agriculture, lived within 200 feet of agriculture fields or used pesticides in their home took significantly longer to conceive than those who did not have these pesticide exposures.
