To understand the situations of pesticide poisoning in Huzhou and take preventive strategy and measures against the pesticide poisoning.
Case reports between 2006 and 2009 in the data base of reporting system for occupational diseases were computed by Excel for windows and statistical significance by SPSS12.0.
A total of 2298 patients were reported from 2006 to 2009. Among them, the incidence of occupational poisoning accounted for 25.59% (588 cases), including 4 fatalities (fatality rate, 0.68%). Male patients (458 cases, 77.89%) were more than female ones (130 cases, 22.11%) in occupational pesticides poisoning. Summer and autumn were the most seasons in occupational pesticides poisoning occurring. The incidence of non-occupational pesticides poisoning accounted for 74.41% (1710, cases), including 112 fatalities (fatality rate, 6.55%). Female patients (952 cases, 55.67%) were more than male ones (758 cases, 44.33%) in non-occupational pesticides poisoning. 15 - 55 years were the highest incidences among non-occupational pesticides poisoning patients. Insecticides especially organophosphorus insecticides such as methamidophos, parathion, and omethoate comprised a higher proportion, accounting for 79.98% of the pesticides poisoning.
The incidence and the fatality rate of occupational pesticide poisoning were reduced in the city. However, more attention should be paid to non-occupational pesticides poisoning. To decrease the numbers of pesticide poisoning and the risks of death, the relevant departments should take preventive strategy and measures against the pesticide poisoning.
了解湖州市农药中毒情况,采取预防农药中毒的策略和措施。
运用Excel for windows软件对职业病报告系统数据库中2006年至2009年的病例报告进行统计计算,并采用SPSS12.0软件进行统计学分析。
2006年至2009年共报告2298例患者。其中,职业性中毒发病率占25.59%(588例),包括4例死亡(死亡率为0.68%)。职业性农药中毒男性患者(458例,77.89%)多于女性患者(130例,22.11%)。夏季和秋季是职业性农药中毒发生最多的季节。非职业性农药中毒发病率占74.41%(1710例),包括112例死亡(死亡率为6.55%)。非职业性农药中毒女性患者(952例,55.67%)多于男性患者(758例,44.33%)。15至55岁是非职业性农药中毒患者中发病率最高的年龄段。杀虫剂尤其是有机磷杀虫剂如甲胺磷、对硫磷和氧乐果所占比例较高,占农药中毒的79.98%。
该市职业性农药中毒的发病率和死亡率有所下降。然而,应更加关注非职业性农药中毒。为减少农药中毒人数和死亡风险,相关部门应采取预防农药中毒的策略和措施。
