First Aid in Case of Pesticide Exposure

The US Environmental Protection Agency's publication "Pesticide Poisoning Acceptance and Management" provides information and treatment information on the symptoms caused by certain pesticide poisoning.

I swallow poison. Emergency personnel stated on the telephone or product label instructs them to do so only while vomiting is occurring. This depends on what people swallow; if you vomit, some petroleum products or corrosive poisons can cause more damage. Always keep the Ipecac syrup (1 ounce per family per family) to cause vomiting if you are advised by emergency personnel. Please make sure the date is up to date

There is a poison in my eyes. Eye masks absorb pesticides faster than any other body part; using certain types of pesticides can damage the eyes in only a few minutes. If venom enters the eyes, leave the eyelids open, and gently flush gently in clean water of tap water or gentle water of hose for at least 15 minutes. If possible, please have another person contact the poison control center while the victim is receiving treatment. Please do not use eye drops, chemicals, chemicals for washing water.

Skin Poison If agricultural chemicals adhere to the skin, wet with water to remove contaminated clothing. Wash your skin and hair thoroughly with soap and water. Then discard contaminated clothing or rinse off from other clothing.

Inhale the poison. Take it now, or drag the victim to fresh air. If you need protective measures (such as a ventilator) and feel that you can not use it, please call the fire department and wait for emergency equipment before entering the area. Take off the victim's hard clothes. If the victim's skin is blue, or if the victim is stopping breathing, give artificial respiration (if you know how) and contact the emergency service. Please open doors and windows so that other people are not addicted to smoke

• A. The best first aid for pesticide emergencies is to stop exposure to pesticides as soon as possible. If you are using pesticides in your skin or eyes, rinse with water, drink plenty of water if swallowed, breathe in fresh air if you are inhaling pesticides. A.

The route of exposure to pesticides depends on the type of pesticide and its application. Exposure to pesticides occurs either in contact with the skin or by swallowing subjects by eating, drinking or chewing the subject for inadvertent ingestion. In this way harmful substances may enter the body. Inhalation of respiratory inhalation. In this way harmful substances may enter the body. The following table shows examples of these approaches.

Pesticides have wide-ranging applications and can affect human and environmental health in various environments. Depending on the type and application of the pesticide, certain pesticides may be exposed through different exposure routes (oral, skin and inhalation). Common sources of exposure to pesticides in the general population include residues contained in food and drinking water. Children are very sensitive to exposure to pesticides. Occupational exposure to pesticides is problematic for farm workers and commercial pest control operators.
