Abstract
The article reports on the study that evaluates the incidence of cancer among pesticide applicators exposed to permethrin insecticide in the U.S. The study found no associations between permethrin and all malignant neoplasms combined, or between permethrin and melanoma. It observes elevated and statistically significant risks for multiple myeloma in the highest tertiles of both lifetime exposure-days and intensity-weighted lifetime exposure-days.
