Several of you have emailed indicating

work. If you copy and paste or retype the links into your browser, you should

[ ] Pesticide Exposure in NC

Colleagues—

As many of you may be aware, farmworker health professionals

and advocates in North Carolina

have been following very closely the case of three farmworker women who were

exposed to pesticides while pregnant and working in the fields and the

potential link between this exposure and the birth of babies with birth

defects. Please find below links to a very recent article that appeared

in the local newspaper about the case and a link to the official report

released by the NC Division of Public Health who conducted an assessment of the

three cases:

Pesticide Exposures during Pregnancy and Three Children with Birth Defects:

We hope this will prompt you to monitor this issue in your respective states.

I am looking academicians that have

studied (health, migration patterns, etc in the Deep South (North

Carolina, South Carolina,

Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana). We are

trying to see what information exists in these states on migrants and

immigrants.
