  • Title: Pesticide poisoning in Mexican seasonal farm workers.
    Author: Chain-Castro TJ, Barrón-Aragón R, Haro-García L.
    Journal: Int J Occup Environ Health; 1998; 4(3):202-3. PubMed ID: 10026483.
    Abstract:
    The authors investigated pesticide poisoning in 200 seasonal farm workers employed in a small area in northwest Mexico. Of these workers, 45% were migrants from southern Mexico, and 70% were men. Most were about 20 years old; 59% could read at the third-grade level. Few had received information about pesticides; 30% did not wear personal protective gear; and 20% had experienced acute pesticide poisoning at least once during the season investigated.
