Pesticide Application
Health Risks:
Pesticides are most commonly consumed on and in our food, which exposes most newborns, children, and adults to them. They are touched and breathed in by workers in farm and occupational settings, putting them at risk of acute and chronic poisoning.
The majority of health studies have focused on persons who are exposed to pesticides on the job, such as farm laborers and pesticide applicators. Symptoms of acute OP pesticide poisoning include nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, dizziness, anxiety, and confusion, which might be severe but are usually reversible.
Many studies have been undertaken on groups of people who work with pesticides but have never had acute poisonings serious enough to cause these symptoms. Chronic, low-dose exposure has been linked to respiratory issues, cognitive problems, skin ailments, depression, miscarriage, birth deformities, cancer, and neurological problems like Parkinson�s disease, according to these researches.
