Pesticides
and Food
Tracer Bullet 94-5 |
|
Pesticides are of great concern to the American consumer. While
the use of pesticides and other agrochemicals has increased the
availability of fruits and vegetables, some research indicates
the residues of these compounds may constitute a health hazard.
New studies linking pesticides to diseases in children, reproductive
disorders in men, and breast cancer in women contribute to these
concerns. The issues involved are complex, and the literature
dealing with the topic is often very technical. This compilation
furnishes a review of the literature in the collections of the
Library of Congress on pesticides and food. Not intended as a
comprehensive bibliography, this compilation is designed--as the
name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
