Description
Data comparing pesticide levels in family members when eating non-organic vs organic food
Format
A dataset with 160 observations on the following 6 variables.
Person Code for family member, Father, Mother, GirlA, GirlB, Boy
Pesticide One of eight different pesticides measured
Day Day of the measurement (Day1, Day3, Day4, or Day6)
NonOrganic Level of the pesticide after eating a non-organic diet
Organic Level of the pesticide after eating an organic diet
Diff Difference = NonOrganic - Organic
Details
A study looked at a Swedish family that ate a conventional diet (non-organic), and then had them eat only organic for two weeks. Pesticide concentrations for several different pesticides were measured in micrograms/g creatinine by testing morning urine. Multiple measurements were taken for each person before the switch to organic foods, and then again after participants had been eating organic for at least one week.
