متن کاملExposure to pesticides and risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a population-based case-control study.
A few epidemiologic studies have suggested an association of agricultural work and pesticides exposure with a severe degenerative disease of the motor neurons, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), though conflicting results have also been provided.
