Introduction and Purpose.
Farmers are particularly at high risk of pesticide exposure due to added risk from occupational exposure.
The aim of this study is to evaluate knowledge level of farmers in the Çukurova region of the effects of pesticides, toxic symptoms, and protective equipment as well as assessing their attitudes and practices regarding pesticides.
Material and Method.
A total of 420 seasonal agricultural workers in Karataş District of Adana Province, Turkey, were included in the study.
The questionnaire form consisting of 3 sections was administered using face-to-face interview method.
Results.
The mean age of the participants was 40.2±10.6 years.
They were engaged in farming for a mean duration of 18.5±10.6 years.
All of them used pesticides, but none of them had been trained on the use of pesticides.
Only 26.2% of them stored pesticides in a private depot.
The farmers who took empty pesticide containers to special collection bins or centers constituted only 4.3% of them.
While 84.0% of them thought that pesticides could have a negative impact on human health, 5.0% of them had experienced a medical problem and 1.0% of them were poisoned after applying pesticides.
Conclusion.
The results show that knowledge level of farmers of safe use of pesticides is very inadequate.
This lack of knowledge adversely affects workers’ quality of life as well as occupational health and safety.
Appropriate training programs should be organized to increase their level of knowledge.
