Minimizing occupational exposure to pesticides: Acute and chronic effects of pesticides on human health
Conference paper
Abstract
As is true of toxic substances in general, pesticides pose several different kinds of threats to health. Defined broadly as “adverse effects,” they are commonly considered either acute effects, developing promptly and resolving rapidly, or chronic effects, which may appear after a delay, but then persist for weeks to years.
