              Links/Pesticide Exposure

A new web page that addresses the relationship between pesticides and
human health has been added to the National Library of Medicine's (NLM)
Enviro-Health Links. The page provides links to selected web sites on
pesticide exposure, as well as on the treatment and prevention of
pesticide poisoning.

In our everyday lives, we all handle many chemicals (including
pesticides) that can be toxic if ingested or inhaled. Acute or chronic
exposure to pesticides can cause severe and even life-threatening
illnesses.  The risk of potential injury to a chemical is determined by
exposure and toxicity. Without both factors there is no risk. If we take
care to limit our exposure and handle these substances safely, we reduce
our risk. This web page provides selected links to help identify and
reduce the risk.

NLM also offers other Enviro-Health Links on topics such as:
