Abstract: This report presents a detailed analysis of children's exposure to pesticides in food and a determination of the potential hazards that these residues pose to children. Preschoolers' exposure to 23 pesticides was determined by combining children's consumption rates for various foods with the actual pesticide residue levels found in these foods. Pesticide exposure estimates were then assessed to determine the preschoolers' risk of developing cancer or experiencing a disruoption in central nervous system function. The study concluded that preschoolers are being exposed to hazardous levels of pesticides in fruits and vegetables.
