To investigate the association between current rhinitis and pesticide use, a study was performed using data from 2245 Iowa commercial pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study. Five pesticides used in the past year were significantly positively associated with current rhinitis: the herbicides 2,4-D, glyphosate and petroleum oil, the insecticide diazinon and the fungicide benomyl.
