Read the EPA page at Basic Information, CHEERS, Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study, US EPA:
Quote:
What will I be asked to do?
* Participants are not required to use pesticides or to change any of their regular household routines or how they normally use bug sprays (pesticides).
* Allow two of our researchers to visit you at your home every 3 to 6 months for two years. If pesticides are used, notify researchers to arrange a time at your convenience to conduct study activities before and after the use of pesticides. The visit will take approximately 2 hours per day or per visit.
* Videotape (the video camcorder will be provided) some of your child’s activities and keep an activity diary about your child.
* Allow your child to wear a small watch size activity sensor during the study period. (Approximately 1 week every 3 - 6 months)
* Help to collect some samples of food and urine. Our research staff will show you how to do this and provide you with needed supplies.
* Keep track of your home pesticide and cleaning products use.

I'll have an opinion later.
