Are there health risks for people working with pesticides, and their families?
People who use pesticides at work, e.g. farmers, pest controllers, pesticide manufacturer staff, people working in horticulture and floriculture and those applying pesticides in urban, transport and amenity sectors are exposed to pesticides on a regular basis, sometimes at high concentrations. This may place them at higher risk of developing some health problems. There is also the risk of high exposure from an accident.
