Abstract
When applying synthetic pesticides to crops, it is essential to use them sparingly to avoid complete crop damage. Many studies have found that the use of pesticides by farmers is associated with higher levels of pesticide exposure than that experienced by the general population. Whenever pesticides are sprayed on crops, the primary targets of the poisons are the farmers who are sprayed. On the other hand, farmers may come into touch with pesticides that are not directly relevant to their field of work. According to the American Chemical Society, handling pesticides or coming into close contact with chemical residues can be particularly hazardous for persons exposed to these chemicals on a regular basis. The possibility of making an inaccurate judgment call while dealing with this type of contact exists. A wide variety of routes, including the lungs and skin, regularly introduce pesticides into the body. Regular pesticide handling exposes the face and hands to a high level of pesticide exposure, which is why it is vital to wear protective equipment when handling pesticides. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, farmers can decrease their exposure to pesticides by wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) during all steps of the pesticide handling process. Using personal protective equipment (PPE) can assist farmers in reducing their pesticide consumption (PPE).
 Drift, agricultural labor, and direct spray contact, to mention a few terms, are used to characterize the scenario in this context.
Highlights
1.1 A Summary of the Most Significant PointsEnvironmental pollution has been a source of heated debate for quite some time, and with good cause.The term "agricultural chemical agents" refers to compounds or substances used in agricultural and public health programmes to protect plants against pesticides, weeds, and illnesses and protect people from diseases caused by mediators such as malaria, dengue fever, and schizophrenia
Toxicities caused by pesticides in humans can be classified into three groups based on the amount of time that an individual has been exposed to a substance and the onset of symptoms: Because of the acute poisoning that might follow from exposure to a single dose of pesticide after receiving it, an agricultural worker will experience acute poisoning
In the event of contact with diluted sprays or dust, the use of eye protection is recommended as a precautionary measure in the event of contact
Summary
Environmental pollution has been a source of heated debate for quite some time, and with good cause. Others may experience severe headaches and dizziness as a result of long-term pesticide exposure Several pesticides, such as organic phosphates such as organic phosphate, have the potential to have lethal consequences; as a result, it is critical to assess the hazards associated with these chemicals. Toxicities caused by pesticides in humans can be classified into three groups based on the amount of time that an individual has been exposed to a substance and the onset of symptoms: Because of the acute poisoning that might follow from exposure to a single dose of pesticide after receiving it, an agricultural worker will experience acute poisoning. If the pesticide comes into contact with one's eyes, one must immediately put on protective goggles to avoid further damage
