Exposition humaine aux pesticides : un facteur de risque pour le suicide au Brésil?

Over the last decades pesticides have been used to increase agricultural production and eradicate vector born tropical diseases. In parallel, many toxic health effects of pesticide exposure have been identified, and it is currently well known that exposure can impair several biological systems. The...
