#PesticideActionNetwork: 402-433M cases of unintentional acute pesticide poisoning of farmers & farm workers every year-- 46% of farmers are being poisoned every year, the greatest estimated number in southern Asia, followed by south-east Asia & east Africa. #BurkinaFaso with 84% was highest.
@fossilfreeusa.bsky.socialThe #PesticideActionNetwork’s report did not look at the long-term health impacts, with acute pesticide poisoning defined in the study as any illness or health effect experienced a short time after exposure.
