PMC ANALYSIS

In the Journal of Trends of Pesticide Exposure and Related Cases in the Philippines its goal is to
provide a comprehensive trend of pesticide poisoning cases in the Philippines as well as pesticide
exposures, and risk factors related to the adverse effects of pesticide. According to the research, human
health is at risk due to pesticide exposure from 2006 to 2010 studies. Pesticides have been used all over
the world for so many purposes such as in agriculture and every home in the philippines. It is used in
households to kill pests such as rats, cockroaches and mosquitoes. The analysis is very important to know
the effect of pesticides on the people, environment as well as knowing ways to solve it. The Farmers lack
basic sufficient understanding about pesticide toxicity and usage, and there is an insufficient number of
qualified rural healthcare workers. Based on the studies, Pesticide exposure, work practices, and pesticide
residues in environment media were identified as risk factors in the studies, which might contribute to
pesticide poisoning occurrences. According to the study findings, the most prevalent health concerns
noticed by farmers were headaches, skin abnormalities, exhaustion, fever, and fatigue. The most
vulnerable to exposure in pesticides are young children and adults that can be exposed by inhalation, skin
contact, ingestion through food intake, or inadvertent ingestion of the pesticide itself. However, children
are more vulnerable to exposure than adults because, per pound of body weight, children breathe more,
consume more, and have a faster metabolism than adults. Records from the National Poison Control and
Management Center (NPCMC), the Philippine General Hospital, De La Salle Medical Center, and other
hospitals were obtained, and research projects undertaken in the Philippines were evaluated. According to
hospital studies, the frequency of pesticide cases and mortality rates have been rising. As per surveys,
farmers use these pesticides in levels ranging from 2–5 ml per 16 liters of water for liquid pesticides to 3–
5 g per 16 liters of water for solid pesticides. Data analysis was performed for the annual data records on
pesticide poisoning cases from hospital surveys, as well as a comparison of the findings of research
projects conducted in different years and geographical sites. In the Philippines, there is a severe lack of
data on pesticide toxicity. The National Poison Control and Management Center holds the most recent
records. Unfortunately, data are very few, and pesticides are mainly classified as mixed pesticides. There
were no other classes or categorizations based on socio-demographics, geographical profiling, or trends.
In the Philippines, the Department of Health apparently does not keep a record of pesticide poisoning
incidents. In this assessment of pesticide exposure and toxicity in the Philippines, this is both a difficulty
and a constraint. Pesticide poisoning has become an increasing health problem in the Philippines. Based
on the records of the National Poison Control Management Center. Pesticides produce pollutants such as
hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can lead to health issues that
impact people, their neighbors, and the community as a whole.
