| 29. | Sorahan T. (2015). | Agricultural Health Study (AHS) | There were no statistically significant trends for multiple myeloma risks in relation to reported cumulative days (or intensity weighted days) of glyphosate use; the doubling of risk reported previously arose from the use of an unrepresentative restricted dataset, and analyses of the full dataset provides no convincing evidence for a link between multiple myeloma risk and glyphosate use. | glyphosate | Workers | United States | Details | Multiple Myeloma | |||
| 30. | De Roos AJ, et al. (2005). | Agricultural Health Study (AHS) | Glyphosate exposure was not associated with cancer incidence overall or with most of the cancer subtypes we studied.

| 37. | Molla YB, et al. (2014). | The precise trigger of podoconiosis (endemic non-filarial elephantiasis of the lower legs) is unknown, but epidemiological studies have linked the disease with barefoot exposure to red clay soils of volcanic origin; more quantities of smectite, mica, and quartz within the soil were associated with podoconiosis prevalence. | mica | Quartz | Smectite | Study subjects | Ethiopia | Details | Elephantiasis | ||||
| 38. | Fewtrell L. (2004). | I conclude that, given the apparently low incidence of possible water-related methemoglobinemia, the complex nature of the role of nitrates, and that of individual behavior, it is currently inappropriate to attempt to link illness rates with drinking-water nitrate levels. | Nitrates | Study subjects | Details | Methemoglobinemia | |||||

| 45. | Reynolds P, et al. (2005). | California Department of Health Services Study | The generally null results in this study systematically examining the risk relationships for residential proximity to agricultural pesticide use stand in contrast to existing epidemiologic literature suggesting elevated childhood cancer risks from reported household pesticide use.
