Environmental contamination associated with biofuel production involving pesticide-coated seed corn as feedstock: a survey of community environmental and health impacts
This study evaluated community-level perceived impacts of environmental contamination directly related to an ethanol plant's improper handling of production waste containing pesticides. Findings can support immediate actions by state officials and community leaders and serve as a baseline for future health and environmental monitoring.
