Abstract

FRANCE'S FIRST "PESTICIDES AND PEDIATRIC PATHOLOGIES" CONSULTATION. The "Pesticides and Pediatric Pathologies" department of the Regional Center for Occupational and Environmental Diseases of Hauts-de-France (CHU Amiens-Picardie, France) was set up on October 1 2023, to support children (and their families) suffering from leukemia, brain tumors, hypospadias or cleft lip and palate whose parents have been professionally exposed to pesticides. This support includes assistance in dealing with the Fonds d'indemnisation des victimes de pesticides (Pesticide Victims Compensation Fund).
