Pieces of the Puzzle; Does Atrazine Affect the Risk of Cancer?
by Suzanne M. Snedeker, Ph.D.
Cornell Sprecher Institute for Comparative Cancer Research
Overview:
The PALS modules (Pesticide Applied Learning Series) make current scientific
topics on agriculture, the environment and health available to pesticide
safety educators and extension agents. Educators can adapt modules for
their own use and for presentations to pesticide applicators. This module
explores the current scientific evidence of whether exposure to the herbicide
atrazine affects the risk of cancer.
Requirements:
- Interactive
Version: The
interactive version is designed for individualized self-study at a computer
work station. An audio of the script will play. The user can advance
to the next slide when the "next" button appears below the
