Acute and long term pesticide poisoning is a major global health problem.
This PAN Germany publication addresses the following issues: Who is affected
by the health hazards posed by pesticides? What is known about the frequency
of acute pesticide poisonings and the extent of long-term adverse health
effects due to pesticides? To what extent do suicides and attempted suicides
contribute to the total numbers of pesticide poisonings? In view of ongoing
increases in global pesticide use, has documentation of pesticide poisonings
been improved? On the basis of available data on pesticide poisonings, what
action should be taken?
