Leukemia - adult
A systematic review of myeloid leukemias and occupational pesticide exposure - Finds strong evidence of an increased risk of myeloid leukemia and occupation exposure of pesticide applicators.[Van Maele-Fabry, G., et al. 2007. Cancer Causes Control 18(5):457-478]
Cancer incidence among male pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study cohort exposed to diazinon - Using the Agricultural Health Study cohort, an association is found for lifetime exposure days to diazinon and leukemia cases.[Beane Freeman, L.E., et al. 2005. American Journal of Epidemiology 162(11):1070-1079]
Childhood cancer and agricultural pesticide use: an ecologic study in California. - Correlating pesticide use data and leukemia finds a statistically significant elevated risk to propargite at the highest usage level.[Reynolds, P., et al. 2002. Environmental Health Perspectives 110(3):319-324]
Correlation analysis of pesticide use data and cancer incidence rates in California counties. - Analyzing data on pesticide use and cancer incidence finds a correlation between Hispanic males diagnosed with leukemia and use of the pesticides atrazine, 2.4-D, and captan. [Mills, P.K. 1998. Arch Environ Health 53(6):410-413]
