Abstract:
Assessing pesticide and nonpesticide exposures in agricultural settings is a daunting task. This is especially the case when such assessments are undertaken as a component of health studies to evaluate cancer risk. In this review, key exposure assessment issues are outlined and discussed in the context of pesticide-specific health risk assessments and three recent studies of large, geographically defined farmer and farm family populations. The specific topics addressed include the assessment of cumulative exposures to both older and more recently registered pesticides, the role of biomarker studies in exposure assessment, and uses of data on nonroutine high-exposure events.

Observational Studies
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...

Study Designs in Epidemiology
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
