How Many Dangerous Pesticides are in Your Body?

According to a study, residents in the United States were found to carry harmful levels of pesticides in their bodies, with children, women and Mexican Americans disproportionately exposed to the chemicals. A study analyzed information on over 2,648 people who were tested for levels of 34 different kinds of pesticides.

The study involved blood and urine tests, which revealed a large amount of people carried levels of pesticides that were considered unsafe by the government health and environmental agencies.
