These articles discussed pesticide use, living in a rural environment, consumption of well water, exposure toherbicides, and proximity of residence to industrial plants, printing plants or quarries as possible risk factors.

We'll probably get exposed to most of the things listed by Cummings as well as a whole lot of other things.
