Strong evidence links pesticide exposure to birth defects, fetal death and altered fetal growth.[3] In the
United States, increase in birth defects is associated with conceiving in the same period of the year
when agrochemicals are in elevated concentrations in surface water.[17] Agent orange, a 50:50 mixture of 2,4,5- T and 2,4-D, has been associated with increased birth defects in Vietnam.[18][19]

A number of pesticides including dibromochlorophane and 2,4-D has been associated with impaired fertility
