First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looked at 629 children to see if contact with pesticides—at home, in the garden, or from nearby farms—raises the risk of childhood leukemia. Researchers collected dust from carpets and mapped crops near homes to measure chemical exposure. The goal was to understand possible causes, not to test a treatment.
