It is because of combined hygienic, ecological, commercial and psychological aspects that controlling public health pests in the hospital becomes a complex problem area in which dubious practices and philosophies have had a tradition for decades. These include harmlessness assumptions considered as a carte blanche, ignoring the biological peculiarities of the species controlled, payment for consumption of chemicals or area controlled rather than for efficiency of control, and a contract policy between the pest control contractor and the hospital governed by a profit-oriented control frequency rather than by the actual infestation. Thus, the hospital environment has often experienced an unnecessarily high exposure to toxic and, in part, persistent substances which can adversely affect the chemical indoor situation in acute terms or on a long-term basis, and may give rise to sustained problems. Exposure and residues were determined to provide evidence of the acute risk to health after control measures using dichlorvos, as well as long persisting exposure as typically demonstrated for DDT. The conclusions drawn so as to minimise the risk of indoor pest control in the hospital are presented.
由于卫生、生态、商业和心理等多方面因素的综合作用，医院内公共卫生害虫的控制成为一个复杂的问题领域，在这个领域中，可疑的做法和理念已经存在了几十年。这些做法包括将无害性假设视为一种全权委托，忽视所控制物种的生物学特性，按消耗的化学品或控制的面积而非控制效率付费，以及害虫控制承包商与医院之间的合同政策受以盈利为导向的控制频率而非实际虫害侵扰情况的支配。因此，医院环境经常不必要地大量接触有毒且部分为持久性的物质，这些物质会在短期内或长期对室内化学环境产生不利影响，并可能引发持续的问题。测定了接触情况和残留量，以提供使用敌敌畏进行控制措施后对健康的急性风险的证据，以及如滴滴涕所典型显示的长期持续接触的证据。本文给出了为将医院室内害虫控制风险降至最低而得出的结论。
