A new study on the links between pesticides and cancer reveals that pesticide exposure has a similar risk level as smoking cigarettes.

"The widespread use of pesticides may lead to hundreds of thousands of additional cancer cases in major corn-producing states like Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio — even for Americans who don’t work on farms, according to findings published Thursday in Frontiers in Cancer Control and Society."

A suggestion that came from one of the authors for raising public awareness of the health risks of pesticides is to disclose pesticide exposure risk when buying and selling property.

Would that make an impact in your country?
