Farmers, particularly in Europe, are exposed to multiple pesticides during their working life. Such exposures can cause adverse health outcomes. We aimed to identify the main pesticide mixtures to which French agricultural workers are exposed and to classify farmers into clusters based on their mixture exposure profile.

- Ovarian cancer is rare but has a poor prognosis, with hormones and reproductive factors potentially linking it to endocrine disruptors in agricultural settings.
- In a study involving 59,391 female farmers, the impact of specific agricultural exposures during different life stages on ovarian cancer risk was analyzed, revealing both increased and decreased risks associated with various farming activities.
- Key findings indicated that involvement with pigs, fruit-growing, and potato seed treatment elevated ovarian cancer risk, particularly during puberty, while grain cereal farming showed a reduced risk; exposure to triazine herbicides was not linked to increased ovarian cancer.
