The pesticide poisoning is a common medical emergency and leads to morbidity and mortality in developing countries due to easy accessibility and less cost. A prospective analysis of pesticide poisoning cases admitted to the emergency department of tertiary care, teaching hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra from 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2006. The main objectives, to assess the pattern and socio-demographic profile of pesticide poisoning. The most cases observed in the age group 21-30 years (n:72, 41.37%)). Total males affected were 94 (54.02%) dominating the females 80 (45.98%) and male to female ratio (1.17:1). But in younger age group, females were more affected than males. The maximum cases belonged to the lower socioeconomic class (n:82, 47.12%) and urban areas (n:106, 60.91%). Majority of the victims married and belonged to Hindu religion (n: 140, 80.4%). The occurrence of pesticide poisoning was more frequent in the evening (n:82,47.12%) and during the, monsoon (73, 41.95%).There is a need for adequate guidelines for sale, use, storage and safety practices for the pesticide. These will be helpful for the enhancement of the knowledge, awareness and safety practices among the population for prevention and reduction of the pesticide poisoning. It also emphasized on the early availability of treatment in the poisoning cases.

“…It was also found that the pediatric cases tended experienced pesticide poisoning accidently. In support of our study findings, many of the previous studies also determined that children experienced pesticide exposure accidently (36)(37)(38). Children are curious by nature, and they like discovering new things, which means that they have a tendency to get hurt.…”

“…This research confirmed that the poisonings occurred most often through the gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies also showed that most of the pesticide poisoning cases occurred through the gastrointestinal tract, with cutaneous exposure being secondary (38,39,42). While exposure through the gastrointestinal system can occur accidentally, and this route can be used to commit suicide, it is believed that exposure through the skin and inhalation tends to occur accidentally or during professional implementation.…”

Acute pesticide poisoning is an important public health problem. This research was done for the purposes of retrospectively examining the relationships between the recorded pesticide poisonings and socio-demographic factors. This retrospective descriptive study was conducted between December 2017 and February 2018. It was exami ned that thirty-two cases presented for pesticide poisoning between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2017 to the Emergency Service of the Kumluca Public Hospital. The hospital records were used to collect the research data. The χ 2 test and logistic regression analysis were used, as well as descriptive statistics. It was found that 12 cases used pesticides to commit suicide, and 9 cases presented to psychiatry polycl inics after a suicide attempt. It was found that pesticide poisoning was mostly in spring. The poisonings occurred most often via the gastrointestinal tract, inhalation, skin respectively. It was found that poisoning in order to attempt suicide in women we re higher, and accidental and professional poisonings in men were higher. In the logistic regression analysis, it was found that the use of pesticides to commit suicide differed according to the gender (OR = 0.070, p < 0.05). This study revealed the existence of pesticide poisonings, and especially, suicidal attempts due to pesticides in a rural area.

“…%) [10,11], the concentration of AlP in fumigant residues generated in shipments was higher, resulting in a high risk from these types of residues. The residues can produce highly toxic PH 3 if disposed poorly, and come in contact with water [8,19,20]. The concentration of AlP in fumigant residues showed significant difference at various sampling temperatures and was low during hotter months and high during cooler months.…”

Increasing concentrations of aluminum phosphide (AlP) in waste fumigants and residues pose a serious threat to human health. This study focused on the effectiveness of the widely used simple immersion treatment for waste fumigants from shipments, which usually have a higher concentration of residual AlP. A field survey of an operational process was conducted followed by a quantitative analysis of the immersion treatment's hydrolytic effect on AlP. Further investigation on the safety of waste fumigants after the immersion treatment was conducted. It was found that the AlP concentration in the waste fumigant varied significantly with the sampling date, ranging from 12.93±0.67 wt. % to 29.50±1.18 wt. %. Simple immersion treatment could reduce the concentration of residual AlP in waste fumigants but the hydrolytic effect varied largely ranging from 19.5% to 31.9%. The concentration of residual AlP remained high (9.1-20.1 wt. %) after the immersion treatment. About 3.2-15.2 wt. % of AlP remained in the samples, following an additional 40 days of natural air-drying when phosphine gas release was not detected. The study indicates that conventional simple immersion treatment cannot ensure the complete hydrolysis of AlP from waste fumigants of shipments.
