Poor ventilation in production workshops: Inadequate ventilation systems during pesticide manufacturing can lead to excessive pesticide concentration in the air. Workers chronically exposed to such environments may inhale pesticides and suffer poisoning.

The main causes of pesticide poisoning include the following aspects:

Production-related Causes

Equipment leaks: Malfunctioning or aging production equipment may cause pesticide leaks. Workers performing maintenance or cleanup without proper protective measures can be directly exposed to pesticides, increasing poisoning risks.

Application-related Causes

Lack of safety awareness and knowledge: Users unfamiliar with pesticide toxicity and safe application methods may prepare pesticides improperly—using excessive concentrations or incorrect procedures. Examples include mixing pesticides barehanded or working without gloves and masks.

Inadequate protective measures: Spraying pesticides without protective clothing, masks, gloves, or goggles allows pesticides to enter the body through skin contact or inhalation. High temperatures exacerbate risks as open pores increase dermal absorption.

Upwind spraying: Applying pesticides against wind direction may cause droplets to drift onto the applicator, raising poisoning risks.

Malfunctioning equipment: Leaks or clogs in sprayers can lead to pesticide splashes during repairs, causing poisoning.

Enclosed space use: Using pesticides indoors or in poorly ventilated areas (e.g., warehouses for pest control) allows volatile pesticides to accumulate to hazardous concentrations.

Other Causes

Accidental ingestion/misuse: Storing pesticides near food or beverages may lead to accidental consumption. Reusing pesticide containers for food/drink storage is another common cause.

Excessive residues: Chronic poisoning may result from consuming produce with pesticide residues exceeding safety limits, often due to improper pesticide use or premature harvest before safe intervals.

Unintentional exposure: Transportation/storage accidents (e.g., leaks, spills) may expose bystanders. Children playing near pesticide storage areas are particularly vulnerable.
