Gastroschisis is a birth defect of the intestines. Prenatal exposure to higher concentrations of atrazine in surface water (lakes, ponds, rivers, etc.), may increase the prevalence of gastroschisis, especially among women who conceived in the spring." Weed killer atrazine may be linked to birth defect I Reuters Link: http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/02/08/us-weed-killer-idUSTRE6174DW20100208 YOU can stop this from happening to Hawaii keiki - Vote Yes on Bill 113 Arm 0,„ � s fix 11/18/2013 Page 3 of 3 How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
