Research Article: Effect of Fipronil Exposure on Hematological Aspects of Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta): Risk and Toxicity Assessment in Agro-Workers
Abstract:
To meet the increasing demand for food, human beings are in a constant struggle to increase per capita agricultural products by using different pesticides to control damaging crop organisms. These agrochemicals are used worldwide. According to a report, world pesticide usage at the producer level was worth nearly $ billion annually in . Corresponding to that increase in usage; there is mounting evidence of human illness and deaths with occupational exposure to these agrochemicals all over the world.– Owing to improper regulations, monitoring systems, weak enforcement, improper training, low education, and poorly managed or non-existent personal protective equipment, high numbers of pesticide poisoning cases are reported in developing countries., The use of pesticides has become a worldwide trend which is now affecting an increasing number of species as more land is being used for intensive agriculture. There is a growing awareness that non-target species, including humans, often experience collateral damage from pesticides, often resulting in death or sub-lethal effects on behavior, physiology, or endocrinology.– Therefore, more concerns have been expressed about safety measurements of pesticides toward human health.
