“…Unfortunately, any application of pesticides brings with it concerns about the health of any workers who are exposed to the chemicals. Impacts include asthma, 10,11 cancer, 12 reproductive disorders, respiratory symptoms, 13 neurological symptoms, and skin irritations 14 via pathways such as ingestion, inhalation and skin contact 15–22 …”

“…Impacts include asthma, 10,11 cancer, 12 reproductive disorders, respiratory symptoms, 13 neurological symptoms, and skin irritations 14 via pathways such as ingestion, inhalation and skin contact. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Although seed-coating minimizes operating worker exposure to pesticides by treating seeds in coating machines and sealing pesticides with sowing seeds, there remains concern of an occupational exposure risk. Knowing to whom and where a high risk of exposure occurs will help improve safety during manufacturing.…”

“…While pesticides are abundantly used in agriculture, there is increasing evidence that their contact and handling may be associated with various cancer, neurodegenerative, respiratory, metabolic, and developmental diseases [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. However, the complexity of the molecular mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenesis, the lack of specificity of some biomarkers, the diversity of cellular models, the number of experimental protocols applied, and the absence of data intercomparisons have made the quantitative evaluation of the risks linked to pesticides difficult [ 6 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…To reduce the exposure, the farmer used the wild plant called acem acem leaves or Oxalis dehradunensis Raizada as a medium to clean the soil impurities and pesticides. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ]…”
