it is an important study since we're all exposed to pesticides in some form or another.
I've included some links about breast cancer and pesticides http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/helthrpt/stories/s205.htm

I think it might be interesting to study the effects of the US attempt to eradicate the coca field in Colombia. They mass-sprayed (from airplanes) paraquat (sp?) to destroy the crop. But, naturally, there were also people living next to their crop.

Another one is the use of Agent Orange, a defoliant, in Vietnam during the war. There are tons of documentation about this and the US fought these poor boys for decades. They had damaged children, ruined health and could not access services through the VA. Nor were disability benefits available to them. Agent Orange was used to kill the forests so the enemy could not hide their men or weapons.
