Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
There is a great concern that farm workers should be aware of the risks of adverse effects of pesticide use. In this paper, we present pesticide-related symptoms, use of PPE and farmer´s personal hygiene and sanitation of the sprayers in China. We find that safety practices avoiding health risk during pesticide application were inadequate. Consequently, the potential risks from pesticide use may be high. Diffuse the knowledge of IPM, proper training in pesticide handling and education on the hazards of pesticide exposure, restrict some high hazardous and residual pesticides and supply adequacy drugs and equipment would diminish the health risk of pesticide exposure.
