NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Oct. 16 -- Vanderbilt University issued the following news:
Neurotoxicity caused by nerve agents, pathogenic proteins and other toxic chemicals is a well-researched and serious threat to humans. For example, acute exposure to lethal levels of these compounds is commonly studied and is recognized for having extreme short-term, even fatal, effects.
But when it comes to long-term, less-than-lethal exposure to organophosphate compounds such as pesticid . . .
