Abstract
Exposure to pesticides is thought to have an effect on anaemia, but the
results are not consistent in various studies. The study was conducted on
155 women of childbearing age who worked on horticultural agriculture in
three different regions, to determine the risk of pesticide exposure to
anaemia. Measurements were made on the activity of the cholinesterase
enzyme, haemoglobin, nutritional status, duration of exposure, and
protective use. A total of 13 people experienced poisoning and 35 people
suffered from anaemia. Statistical results showed that the risk of pesticide
exposure to anaemia was 6.12 times (95% CI = 1.81 - 20.73), and with the
use of protective equipment was 3.17 times (95% CI = 1.12 - 8.98).
Exposure to pesticides will increase the risk of anaemia in women who work
on horticultural agriculture. This research provides useful information
regarding pesticide exposure in horticultural agriculture. Indiscriminate use
of pesticides must be assessed regularly and agricultural workers must be
trained for safe use of pesticides.
