Abstract
The assessment of long-term health effects from exposure to pesticides has been a serious challenge to research scientists for several decades. Causal inferences following exposures to pesticides and acute disease usually proceed without difficulty since the exposure and resultant disease are close in time. To the contrary, long-term health effects are much more difficult to assess and many factors related to person-place-time-agent interactions must be evaluated.
