Occupational exposure to plant protection products and health effects in Switzerland: what do we know and what do we need to do?

CONCLUSIONS: Due to increasing evidence of an association between PPP exposure and health effects, increased collaboration between stakeholders is necessary to develop links between the data sources that already exist. Our study was the first to investigate the health effects linked to PPP exposure among the Swiss agricultural population. The recommendations presented in this paper would help promote a safer and healthier agricultural workforce in Switzerland, as well as the population at large. PMID: 29698541 [PubMed - in process]
