Aplastic anemia
Causes [strength of evidence]:
Notes
There are large variations in susceptibility to aplastic anemia which are poorly understood. In addition to the pesticides listed, unspecified pesticide exposure in applicators, manufacturers, and agricultural workers has been associated with aplastic anemia. In these situations, the individual is exposed to mixtures of pesticides or different pesticides at different times and associations between a specific pesticide exposure and disease can not be made.
