| الوصف: | Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine various characteristics of municipal workers engaged in nonagricultural pesticide application and factors related to proper pesticide application and pesticide-related health symptoms. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive study. A supervised questionnaire was administered to 1344 pesticide applicators in 63 of the 81 provincial municipalities in Turkey that perform such procedures. Results: All the participants in the research were male. The results showed that 83.9% of pesticide applicators showered after each application, 51.6% had showering facilities in their workplaces and 40.4% washed the clothing they wore during the procedure after each application. The factor receiving most attention during application was the direction of the wind (97.2%). Rates of use of personal protective equipment were goggles 87.3%, masks 88.1%, rubber boots 90.2%, hats 90.9%, long-sleeved shirts 91.1%, gloves 91.2%, long rousers 92.2%, overalls 95% and jackets 100%. The level of applicators performing correct procedures was 44.3%. The factor negatively affecting correct application was working in the field for more than 1 year, while factors with positive impacts were never smoking, working 6 hours a day or less and appropriate training. At least one health symptom possibly related to pesticides was present in 25.3% of participants. Factors affecting presence of at least one health symptom were total employment exceeding 5 years, alcohol use, incomplete use of personal protective equipment and failure to perform proper procedures. Conclusions: Despite the legal provisions concerning pesticide applicators in Turkey, incomplete and defective procedures still persist. Health symptoms may also possibly be seen as a result. ; Amaç: Bu çalışmada tarım dışı alanda pestisit uygulaması yapan belediye çalışanlarının pestisit uygulaması ile ilgili bazı özellikleri ile doğru pestisit uygulamaya ve pestisitlerle ilişkili sağlık yakınmalarının varlığına etki eden faktörlerin ... |
