Potential risk and occupational exposure of pesticides among rice farmers of a village located in Northern Peninsular of Malaysia

Abstract

Farmers globally withstand a range of carcinogenic exposures, including pesticides (solid and liquid), trace elements, wood dusts, and solar radiation. However, the potential risk and occupational exposure require more attention, since farming is a very diverse occupation with many tasks. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess potential risks and occupational exposure of pesticides among rice farmers in Malaysia.
