Recruitment
of farms and orchards
for the study
We have recruited
a number of farms
and orchards that
spray selected pesticides
in the East Lothian,
Norfolk and Kent
areas and that also
have residential
areas in close proximity
to their fields.
Participating
farms and orchards
are asked to
provide information
relating to
their planned pesticide
usage for the
forthcoming
year (example
recording form).
We also ask
participating farmers
to record details
of spraying
events throughout
the spraying
season using
a simple recording
form.

To cover any
inconvenience
caused by providing
this information,
we will compensate
you with a small
sum for each
completed weekly
record sheet
that is returned
to us.
In addition,
farmers, their
partners and
their children
will be given
the opportunity
to take part
in the study
by providing
urine samples
throughout the
spraying season.
