information linking pesticide exposure and children's health

[Guest guest]

I thought some of you might be interested in this notice (and the ads and scientific papers it refers to) about a series of ads to run in the New York Times talking about the link between pesticide exposure and children's health. Thanks to the forward from Lynden Baum at the Washington State Department of Health.
