Abstract

Adult hospital admissions following acute exposures to pesticides are very uncommon and are more often due to parasuicide than to accidents. 2. Most accidental pesticide incidents are work-related. 3. Males are more likely to be involved than females (2.9:1). 4. Life-threatening and fatal consequences developed in 24% of 54 incidents. 5. Of the 10 fatalities, eight were caused by paraquat, eight were due to parasuicide and two to non-work related accidents.

摘要

急性接触农药后入住成人医院的情况非常罕见，更多是由于自杀未遂而非意外事故。2. 大多数农药意外事件与工作有关。3. 男性比女性更易涉及（比例为2.9:1）。4. 在54起事件中，24%产生了危及生命和致命的后果。5. 在10例死亡病例中，8例由百草枯导致，8例是自杀未遂造成的，2例是与工作无关的事故所致。
