Methods : Research design used case-control study with 104 cases and 104 controls. Risk factors were the research area, age, nutritional status, anemia, pesticides processing, using of personal protective equipment, pesticides dose, the number of pesticides used, work duration, spraying duration, spraying frequency, spraying action in the same wind direction, and spraying time. The research was carried on in the sub district of Bulu, district of Temanggung, Central Java. Results : the number of Poisoning occurences in Pakurejo village are 30.3%, age group of 30 – 39 years are 30.8% and SD Graduation 59.1%. Risk factors that influence to the occurrence of pesticides Poisoning are nutritional status < 18.5 (OR = 6.78; 95% CI = 2.08 – 22.62); not properly pesticides dose (OR = 6.46; 95% Cl = 2.52-16.57); the number of pesticides types ³ 3 types (OR = 5.37; 95% Cl = 2.23-12.92); anemia (OR = 5.03; 95% Cl = 1.54-16.46); spraying frequency ³ 3 times (OR = 4.95; 95% Cl = 2.03-12.7); bad sprying times (OR = 3.94; 95% Cl = 1.70-9.17); age ³ 40 year (OR = 3.83; 95% Cl = 1.64-8.94); sprying action opposites the wind direction (OR = 3.43; 95% Cl = 1.37-8.62); and using of un complete personal protective equipment (OR = 2.83; 95% Cl = 1.19-19.68).
