The survey results from Vietnam reveal intriguing insights into the effects of pesticides on individuals working in the agricultural sector. Among the responses, the most common exposure type reported was ground spray (backpack, tractor) at a significant percentage of 43.62%. This indicates that a large portion of the workforce in Vietnam is involved in tasks directly related to the application of pesticides, potentially increasing their risk of exposure.
Additionally, the data highlights concerning practices such as eating contaminated food, reported at 2.33%, which poses a health hazard to those consuming produce treated with pesticides. Water contamination, at 3.57%, also raises environmental and public health concerns. These findings underscore the need for stringent regulations and proper safety measures to protect the well-being of agricultural workers in Vietnam.
