This survey was conducted with selected respondents in Manikganj by Bangladesh Resource Center for Indigenous Knowledge (Barcik) and in Cumilla by Shikkha Shastha Unnayan Karzakram (Shisuk).

The survey results from Bangladesh on pesticide use and its effects show that 6.80% of respondents reported experiencing adverse effects from pesticides. This highlights the potential health risks faced by individuals working in the agricultural sector in Bangladesh.

With over 62.61% of respondents noting that they did not experience any adverse effects, there seems to be a significant portion of the population that may be unaware of the dangers associated with pesticide exposure.

It is concerning to see that 30.59% of respondents marked 'N/A,' indicating a lack of awareness or understanding about the symptoms of pesticide exposure.

This reflects the urgent need for education and training programs to raise awareness among agricultural workers in Bangladesh about the potential risks of pesticide use.

Given Bangladesh's heavy dependence on agriculture, these insights are crucial for promoting a safer working environment for individuals in the agricultural industry.

The data presented in this survey does not reflect nationwide statistics but rather findings specific to the locations where the study was conducted by CPAM partners. Results should be interpreted within the context of these particular areas and may not be representative of broader national trends.
