Spatial Distribution of Organochlorine Pesticide Serum Concentrations in Mexican Children and Adolescents Living in and Out the Polluted Atoyac Watershed Basin
'-DDE was significantly higher outside the Atoyac basin. The two patterns of exposure between the two regions emphasized one pattern driven by industry and agriculture, and the second driven by vector-borne disease control. It reinforces the need for regulation and increased monitoring in the Atoyac river basin to provide information about adverse health effects in children and adolescents.
