Exposición a pesticidas y toxicidad reproductiva y del desarrollo en humanos: Análisis de la evidencia epidemiológica y experimental

Several epidemiological studies link pesticide exposure to reproductive and developmental toxicity. However, additional studies have shown little or no evidence to support such relationship. On the other hand, experimental data show that some pesticides may indeed alter the reproductive function or...
