农药的使用产生了巨大的农业效益，同时也带来了严重的公共卫生问题，需要加以解决。根据1980年代和1990年代进行的研究，每年约有50万至150万例急性农药中毒病例，死亡人数为3000至28000人。这项研究的目的是提请注意急性农药中毒的发生率以及世界各地农药造成的社会和经济代价。我们提供的数据农药工业的经济重要性，并描述了急性中毒的情况，从接触农药和消费受污染的食品。这些数据表明，发展中国家的农药中毒事件比工业化国家更频繁，尽管发展中国家的农药消费量较少。我们还估计了农药中毒的经济成本，并审查了某些其他方面的情况，强调需要减少农药的使用。
The use of pesticides has produced great agricultural benefits and, at the same time, serious public health problems that need to be solved. According to studies performed in the 1980s and 1990s, every year about half a million to one and a half million cases of acute pesticide poisoning are notified, together with 3000 to 28000 deaths. The purpose of this study was to draw attention to the incidence of acute pesticide poisoning and to the social and economic costs that are attributable to pesticides in different parts of the world. We present data on the economic importance of the pesticide industry and describe the situation of acute poisonings from exposure to pesticides and consumption of contaminated foods. Such data show that pesticide poisonings are more frequent in developing countries than in industrialized countries, even though developing countries consume less pesticides. We also estimate the economic costs of pesticide poisonings and examine certain other aspects of the situation, underscoring the need to reduce pesticide use.
