India is an agriculture based country with Punjab as one of the leading food grain producing states. There is an ever increasing burden to feed the growing population. This has led to over-usage of pesticides which on one hand has contributed significantly to increase the crop yield while on the other hand has led to sharp increase in the poisoning cases in the region. The present study was undertaken to study the deaths related to poisoning in Malwa region of Punjab in 2010 with a view to assess the pattern, trends and incidence of poisoning in relation to age, sex, area, season and type of poison used. These constituted 17.6% of all the unnatural deaths. From the available data the mortality rate from poisoning in Patiala district comes to 60 per million; whereas for males it is 81 per million and for females it is 35 per million. The mortality rate from poisoning in urban population is 78 per million whereas in rural population it is 50 per million. The results of the present study have been compared to those from India and around the world.
印度是一个以农业为基础的国家，旁遮普邦是主要的粮食生产邦之一。养活不断增长的人口的负担日益加重。这导致了农药的过度使用，一方面极大地提高了作物产量，另一方面导致该地区中毒病例急剧增加。本研究旨在调查2010年旁遮普邦马尔瓦地区与中毒相关的死亡情况，以评估中毒在年龄、性别、地区、季节和所用毒物类型方面的模式、趋势和发生率。这些死亡占所有非自然死亡的17.6%。根据现有数据，帕蒂亚拉区的中毒死亡率为每百万60人；男性为每百万81人，女性为每百万35人。城市人口的中毒死亡率为每百万78人，而农村人口为每百万50人。本研究结果已与印度及世界各地的结果进行了比较。
