RETRACTED ARTICLE: The global distribution of acute unintentional pesticide poisoning: estimations based on a systematic review
BMC Public Health · 2020 · Vol. 20(1) · pp. 1875–1875
Abstract
Our study updates outdated figures on world-wide UAPP. Along with other estimates, robust evidence is presented that acute pesticide poisoning is an ongoing major global public health challenge. There is a need to recognize the high burden of non-fatal UAPP, particularly on farmers and farmworkers, and that the current focus solely on fatalities hampers international efforts in risk assessment and prevention of poisoning. Implementation of the international recommendations to phase out highly hazardous pesticides by the FAO Council could significantly reduce the burden of UAPP.
