Epidemiology and Toxicology

Understanding the epidemiology of poisoning assists in developing effective treatment and prevention strategies aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality.

The predominant causative agent in a particular functional group of pesticides is variable. For instance, within insecticide exposures, synthetic pyrethroids account for the highest number of incidents, while with acaricides, organophosphorous compounds and carbamates, are the most frequent agents causing acute poisoning events. On the other hand glyphosate is responsible for most herbicidal poisoning incidents.
