Abstract

This study determined the spectrum of deaths due to acute agrochemical poisoning in Turkey. Data was obtained from all autopsy reports performed between 1997 and 2001, compiled by the Institute of Forensic Medicine (which is a department of the Ministry of Justice), and evaluated retrospectively. There were 3990 deaths by intoxication of one form or another. Acute agrochemical/pesticide poisoning caused 843 deaths. Almost half were under 30 yo; 55% were female and 45% were male. Of 205 deaths whose manner of death was determined, 153 (75%) were suicide; the most common substance used was insecticide followed by sulfur, rodenticides, and herbicides. The pattern appeared consistent from 1997 to 2001 with no decline in the number of cases, despite the government having taken measures to educate the public and reduce pesticide use by offering alternates to control pests and insects.

土耳其与农药中毒有关的急性死亡。
这项研究确定了土耳其急性农用化学品中毒造成的死亡范围。数据来自1997年至2001年期间进行的所有尸检报告,由法医研究所(司法部的一个部门)汇编,并进行回顾性评估。有3990人死于各种形式的中毒。急性农药/农药中毒造成843人死亡。几乎一半的人在30岁以下;其中55%为女性,45%为男性。205例死亡中,153例(75%)为自杀;最常用的物质是杀虫剂,其次是硫、灭鼠剂和除草剂。从1997年到2001年,这种模式似乎是一致的,尽管政府已采取措施教育公众,并通过提供防治病虫害的替代品来减少农药的使用,但病例数量没有下降。
