This study reviews the cases of seven children with bone marrow disorders that have been observed by physicians at Travis Air Force Base Medical Center in California. The physicians believe that organophosphate pesticides caused the blood disorders, in all cases. "All blood disorders occurred shortly after exposure to the pesticides DDVP/propoxur and malathion. Six of the patients had aplastic anemia and one had acute lymphoblastic leukemia".
