Description:
An investigation of the rate of birth malformations in the Northland region of New Zealand provides no evidence to associate spraying of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid with the occurrence of any malformation of the central nervous system, including spina bifida. A statistically significant association between spray and malformation is found in the case of talipes. Whether this association indicates a causal relation remains to be established.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hanify, J A -- Metcalf, P -- Nobbs, C L -- Worsley, K J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Apr 17;212(4492):349-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7209535" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
