N2  - In 1997 were registered 140 cases of intoxications caused by chemicals used for plant protection. The most of the intoxications occurred after the intake of pesticides (70.7% of diseases). Accidental intake made 36.4% of the total number of cases, and intended intake was 34.3%. During the agricultural labour it came to exposure in 28.6% of cases. Insecticides caused 68.6% of the total number of intoxications by pesticides. In rural regions 79.3% of the sick people were submitted to intoxication and 20.7% in the urban regions. The morbidity of men was almost three times higher than morbidity of women (respectively 0.54 and 0.20). In 1997 three outbreaks of intoxication by pesticides were noted: two of three people and one of two people. Because of intoxication by chemicals for plant protection 10 people died.<p /> <p>Language: pl</p>
