Relationship between pesticide residue levels and neurotoxicity among women on farms in the Western Cape

Farm workers and residents living in and around farms are exposed to pesticides. Women are vulnerable to health risks posed by pesticides. To date there are few studies that have investigated the relationship between pesticide residues in human body fluids and neurotoxicity. This study therefore aims to investigate the relationship between urinary pesticide residue levels and neurotoxicity amongst women working in farms in the Western Cape, South Africa.
