“…Synthetic pesticides are widely applied by farmers to control pests and diseases in Indonesia. The level of pesticide use in Indonesia has been increasing over the last few decades (Joko et al, 2020;Mariyono et al, 2018) and more than 4,000 pesticide brands are currently registered with the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia and permitted to be marketed in Indonesia (Darwis et al, 2020).…”

“…Several acute physiological health problems caused by pesticides are commonly discovered in humans, including reproductive inhibition, hormonal disorder, immune system disorder, and death (Hassaan and El Nemr, 2020). Health issues due to synthetic pesticide exposure are frequently found in farmers who apply synthetic pesticides, including Indonesian farmers (Irnayanti, 2019;Joko et al, 2020;Suhartono et al, 2018). Symptoms include skin irritation, sore eyes, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, thyroid function, and others.…”

Synthetic pesticides are widely applied for pest and disease control in Indonesia. However, a lack of knowledge and use of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) for safe pesticide usage among Indonesian farmers remains a problem. This study aims to investigate the gap between farmers' knowledge of GAP for safe pesticide usage and their application of it. This research was conducted in 2020 in five Indonesian provinces. Primary data collection was by means of a survey, in which 298 respondents answered structured questionnaires. The survey also identified the sources of the information recorded and the respondents' experience of pesticide exposure. The analysis tools used were the Wilcoxon Signed Ranked Test and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). There were significant differences in the results of the first analysis. These results appear to confirm the results of further analysis using IPA, which show that a high level of knowledge does not mean that farmers will apply this knowledge in practice: this is particularly relevant to wearing gloves and masks, using tools to remove blockages, never clearing blocked nozzles by blowing into them, and disposing of empty containers properly. Nevertheless, in some cases high levels of knowledge do result in high levels of application. Cases of pesticide exposure affecting human health by causing symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting confirm that GAP for pesticide usage are not being implemented properly by some farmers. It is therefore recommended that their knowledge should be enhanced through the series of technical training programs using participatory approaches, so that farmers accumulate knowledge which will drive them to adopt GAP for safe pesticide usage.

“…Its correlation with the presence of damage to genetic material has not been significant among those who use it and not for this study, as well as in others [14,19]. However, a significant correlation has been demonstrated between the lack of personal protective equipment and the presence of symptoms caused by exposure to pesticides, making its absence a risk factor [21,22].…”

Genotoxic damage evaluation in agricultural workers by exposure to pesticides in Vicente Guerrero-Tlaxcala, Mexico

Pesticides are one of the main inputs in agricultural activities; however, their exposure has been linked to the generation of various health effects. Today, many studies show the ability of pesticides to induce genotoxic damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of genotoxic damage of agricultural workers from Vicente Guerrero-Tlaxcala community, Mexico, exposed to pesticides. The study was composed by 50 agricultural workers from the Vicente Guerrero community and 16 non-exposed individuals. To assess genotoxic damage, the micronucleus (MN) test was applied to exfoliated buccal cell samples by analyzing their frequency and that of other nuclear abnormalities. The agricultural workers showed a frequency of micronucleated cells (P<0,05) and nuclear outbreaks (P<0,05) higher than the control group. The types of pesticides most referred to by the producers were herbicides, belonging to the chemical groups chlorophenoxy and triazine. The exposure time is more than 6 years in more than half of the workers, while the use of personal protective equipment is low. The detected anomalies did not show statistical associations with age, diseases, alcohol, and tobacco consumption. The study revealed that the significant increase in the frequency of MN observed in the exposed group is induced by exposure to pesticides. The application of biomarkers of genotoxicity represents a useful tool to estimate the genetic risk of a population when exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals.

The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) when spraying pesticides is a must in agricultural activities. It greatly affects the long-term health conditions of farmers. This study aimed to see the relationship between the use of PPE with SGOT and SGPT levels in the blood of rice farmers. This study used quantitative research with an analytic observational research design using a cross-sectional approach. Blood samples were taken for farmers and carried out the process of filling out questionnaires and observation sheets. The results of the questionnaire were processed with SPSS 16.0, with Fisher's exact test. The sample of the study was 40 rice farmers taken purposively. The results showed that the levels of SGOT and SGPT were more in the normal category. The analysis showed that there was no relationship between AST and ALT levels with the use of PPE. It can be seen from the significance value of more than 0.05. As many as 38.5% complained about recurring complaints. After spraying, dizziness, dizziness, watery eyes, frequent spitting, namely vision, coughing, and ergonomic complaints in the form of back pain and lumbago. The conclusion in this study is that there is no relationship between the use of PPE with AST and ALT levels in the blood.
