Pesticide poisoning is a commonly under-diagnosed illness. Health care providers generally receive a limited amount of training in occupational and environmental health, especially in pesticide-related illnesses. Clinical toxicology is a dynamic field of medicine; new treatment methods are developed regularly, and the effectiveness of old as well as new techniques is subject to constant review. Prevention of pesticide poisoning remains a much surer path to safety and health than reliance on treatment.
The purpose of this course is to describe the health hazards of pesticides to provide information to help applicators avoid accidental exposure or poisoning.
The SPCB has approved this course for 2 Hours of Rules and Regs Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for license renewal for Applicators, FRs, and OPRs.
