“…However, the application of pesticides potentially leads to indoor exposure amongst people living in agricultural communities, due to spray drift and the take-home pathway (Weppner et al, 2006;Chang et al, 2014;Gibbs et al, 2017;Taylor et al, 2020). Residential indoor exposure to pesticides has been associated with deleterious health effects, particularly among women and children, including an increase in risk for breast cancer, menstrual cycle disturbances, adverse birth outcomes, thyroid disorders, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, asthma, childhood hematopoietic malignancies, autism spectrum disorders and neurodevelopmental delays following prenatal and early childhood exposure to pesticides (Alavanja et al, 1999;Ma et al, 2002;Windham et al, 2002;Farr et al, 2004;Menegaux et al, 2006;Rudant et al, 2007;El-Zaemey et al, 2013;Shelton et al, 2014;Campos and Freire, 2016;Larsen et al, 2017;Mostafalou and Abdollahi, 2017;Cherry et al, 2018;Hyland et al, 2018;Van Maele-Fabry et al, 2019;Dereumeaux et al, 2020;Chetty-Mhlanga et al, 2021). Thus, it is critically important to assess household exposures to pesticides and corresponding health risks for residents living in and around agricultural communities.…”
