Colorado: Farmers and people living in agricultural areas are at as high a risk of cancer from pesticides as smoking.
The researchers noted that types of cancers at risk include non-Hopkins lymphoma, leukemia and bladder cancer.
Isin Zapata, associate professor at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Rocky Vista University in Colorado and study author, said that it is not a single pesticide that is responsible for increasing the risk of cancer, but rather a combination of different pesticides. .
The female professor said with the help of the Geological Survey in America that people are not exposed to the same pesticide. Their area contains a mixture of pesticides that increase their ability to infect humans.
