The study found a high potential for pesticide exposure in the selected community in rural Tanzania,
a high frequency of self-reported APP and poor recording in hospital records. Farmers’ knowledge levels appeared
to be unrelated to their risk. Rather than simply focusing on knowledge-based strategies, comprehensive interventions
are needed to reduce both exposure and health risks, including training, improvements in labeling, measures to reduce
cost barriers to the adoption of safe behaviours, , promotion of control measures other than PPE and support for
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
