- W3146834914 abstract "INTRODUCTION :The desired activity of pesticides is to kill unwanted organisms such as insects, fungi, weeds and rodents. They comprise of a heterogeneous groups of substances which defy easy classification.A common and useful classification is by these target organisms into insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, molusciudies and rodenticides; in each group they are often subdivided by chemical group. Some chemicals have more than one type of pesticidal activity and may therefore appear in more than one category. For example, carbamates and organophosphates (OPs) includes insecticides, herbicides and fumigants and rodenticides. From a regulatory point of view, pesticides are often divided into agricultural (including horticultural) and non-agricultural types, the later including wood preservers, antijouling materials for boats, and insecticides used in public hygiene.In Sri Lanka many thousand of Hospital admission each yeardue to AGROCHEMICAL POSONING (16649 IN 1983) with overa thousand deaths annually (1521 in 1983), of these about three quarter were self administered, the remainder being accident & occupational).Organo phosphorus compounds are extensively used aspesticides for soft bodied insects in agriculture. They have been imported in India Since 1951, but very few knew about the nature of these compounds as a virulent poison till the real food Poisoning Tragedy in 1958. This tragedy which took a toll of about hundred and odd lives, due to inadvertent stocking of food stuff (Wheat, flour, sugar etc) & Folidol (Parathion) packages in the same hold where the Folidol containers leaked and contaminated the gunny bagscontaining food stuff. Their easy availability & quick actions thereason for their popularity for suicidal & homicidal purpose.The main dangers from agricultural chemicals lie in thepesticides, especially ORGANO PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDSsuch as Paration Herbicides such as PARAQUAT,MONOOROLOPHES used in huge quantities through out the worldand these there substances cause thousand of death in Southern Asia, Africa, and other developing countries.AIM OF STUDY :The Aim of study is to make an objective assessment ofcases of deaths due to OPC Poisoning in respect of the reasons for consuming OPC poisons, the duration of survival after consumption.Post-mortem findings, amount of absorption, age at which there is maximum incidence, religious predominance and analysis of the toxicological report to arrive at a comprehensive conclusion about this commonest type of agricultural insecticide which is used as a substance to commit suicide.MATERIALS AND METHODS :Only such of those cases of Organo phosphors Poisoning brought to the causality department of Govt. General Hospital, Madras Medical College, and brought dead cases of same poisoningbrought with police memo were in general & analysed with theavailable data in respect of postmortem findings their chemicals analysis report etc.About 100 cases of Organo phosphorous compound poisoningwere taken for consideration in this study.. In all cases are the documents submitted by the investigation officer for doing the postmortem were thoroughly pursued regarding the age sex, religion, socio economic study identification inquest form (Form 86) and after the postmortem examination was conducted in all the bodies and finding were noted.Chemical analysis examination was done in all the 100 casesand report were obtained. The chemical analysis report wereanalysed to find out the level of absorption in each case and taken in to consideration.In all the cases the period of hospital stayed for the time of consumption of poisoning till the time of death were noted and the reason for consumption were noted during the period of hospital stay the treatment given were also thoroughly analysed, even though this study of the treatment part is not taken in to consideration.After perusing the above said dates a detailed master chart was prepared and each is subjected to statistical analysisCONCLUSION :Out of the 100 cases of death due to OPC poisoning taken upfor study, there is a clear male preponderance, which accounts for nearly 3 cases among every four cases. This is because of the head of the family in every house is invariable a male person and he is the one who faces the brunt of the crisis.Even though the abdominal pain is cited as the reason inmajority of the cases, the psycho-social problem, financial crisis were the main reason for committing suicide among the general population.Majority of case belong to the low socio-economic group ofpeople who work as farmers are as contract labourers in agricultural Sector.activities. Since OPC products are available as over the counter product (OTC) at a cheap cost, accessibility and availability of the said product is easy for people who belong to the lower middle class and people of low Socio-economic status. The responsibility for an individual is very high only during the middle age i.e between 20 to 50 years. Inability to face the challenges in life during this period makes an individual more vulnerable to suicidal tendencies, which results in ending his life to get rid of the problems & responsibilities.To sum up, due to the reasons and explanations above saidmakes organophospherous compound poisoning one of the majorkiller disease among the people of low socio-economic life style." @default.
