Examining
the Evidence on Pesticide Exposure & Birth Defects in Farmworkers:
An Annotated Bibliography, with Resources for Lay Readers
The purpose of this bibliography is to inform the discussion
of birth defects in farmworkers. The investigations into the
Ag-Mart case may contribute to a perception that the tragic
birth outcomes in that case are an anomaly, because the families
contend that they are the direct result of egregious pesticide
misuse as documented by state investigators. However, reviews
of the epidemiological literature indicate that more generally,
birth defects in farmworkers may not be an anomaly, but rather
a real risk for families who work regularly with toxic pesticides.
Rather than an issue of one bad actor causing an isolated tragedy,
the possibility of increased risks of birth defects for farmworkers
should be viewed as a systemic problem and an issue of social
justice.(Agricultural Resources Center & Pesticide Education
Project, May 2006)
