Seasonality of poisonings was studied among 28 692 cases reported during the years 1980-1982 in Finland with special reference to recurring peak months over years. Poisonings predominated in the summer. For all age-groups peaks of envenomations, plant poisonings and pesticide poisonings recurred between June and September. Among children aged 0-6 years, there were in addition recurrent peaks in poisonings by tobacco between June and August, by corrosive agents in September and by vitamins, trace elements and external medicines in October. Among children aged 7-15 years, fertilizer poisonings peaked recurrently in August. Among adults, poisonings by petroleum products peaked recurrently in July and December, psychopharmacologic drugs in July and October, paints, glues and plastics in November, alcohols in December and antimicrobial drugs in August and October. Of all poisonings, 33% occurred in July, August or September in contrast to the expected 25%. Preventive efforts should thus be intensified during the summer.
对1980年至1982年芬兰报告的28692例中毒病例的季节性进行了研究，特别关注多年来反复出现的高峰月份。中毒情况在夏季最为常见。所有年龄组的中毒高峰、植物中毒和农药中毒在6月至9月期间反复出现。在0至6岁的儿童中，6月至8月间烟草中毒、9月腐蚀性物质中毒以及10月维生素、微量元素和外用药中毒也反复出现高峰。在7至15岁的儿童中，化肥中毒在8月反复出现高峰。在成年人中，石油产品中毒在7月和12月反复出现高峰，精神药理学药物中毒在7月和10月，油漆、胶水和塑料制品中毒在11月，酒精中毒在12月，抗菌药物中毒在8月和10月。所有中毒事件中，33%发生在7月、8月或9月，而预期为25%。因此，在夏季应加强预防措施。
