MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 11, 1980
SUBJECT: The National Study of Hospitalized Pesticide
Poisonings, 1974-1976
TO: Addressees
FROM: Director of Health Effects Branch Projects
Health Effects Branch (TS-769-M)
Hazard Evaluation Division
Office of Pesticide Programs
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
We are pleased to distribute "The National Study of Hospitalized
Pesticide Poisonings, 1974-76. "This study was coordinated for the
Office of Pesticide Programs under contract to the Colorado
Epidemiologic Pesticide Studies Center and conducted with the
assistance of the Epidemiologic Studies Projects in eleven other
states.
As an indispensable contribution to the Pesticide Incident
Monitoring System (PIMS), the Study presents national, regional
and state estimates for hospitalized pesticide poisonings.
Information has been compiled annually for the years 1974
through 1976 on hospitalized poisonings by cause of exposure
(occupational, non-occupational, intentional, or unclassified),
by selected occupation, by age group, and by major pesticide
class.
In extending the data compiled from the 1971-73 Study, the
current study provides opportunity for the analysis of trends in
the incidence of pesticide poisonings. Although the overall
national rate of hospitalized pesticide poisonings given by the
two studies has remained relatively stable over the six years
from 1971 through 1976 (at about 8.7 per 100,000 admissions, or
approximately 2,900 per year), regional rates have differed. On
a yearly basis, EPA Regions IV, VI, and IX showed rates
consistently higher than the national rate, while Regions I, II,
and V had consistently lower rates than those for the U.S. as a
whole. Rates for Regions III, VII, VIII, and X fluctuated
yearly.
Occupational poisonings reported by the two studies have
fluctuated annually, accounting for between 22% and 31% of
hospitalized pesticide poisonings. Farmers and agricultural
workers were the only groups whose average rates for the second
3-year study did not drop as compared with 1971-73. While the
numbers of farmer poisonings rose steadily from 1971 to 1975,
with a sharp drop in 1976, poisonings reported for agricultural
workers remained relatively stable from 1971 through 1973,
dropped in 1974, and rose sharply in 1975 and 1976.
-------
Children under age 4 accounted for over 36% of the hospitalized
pesticide poisonings reported for 1974 through 1976 and 65% of
the nonoccupational group. The average estimate of 1127 annual
poisonings for children under age 4 gave an incidence rate of
3.3 per 100,000 admissions.
Staff of the Health Effects Branch extend their thanks to the
hospitals who participated in this study. We are hopeful that
this information will provide assistance in your state and
regional efforts.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of the National Study of Hospital Admitted Pesticide
Poisonings was to determine nationwide incidence rates for hospitalized
acute pesticide poisoning cases among those persons admitted to general-
care hospitals during the years 1974 to 1976, and to compare the incidence
rates obtained with those obtained in the National Study of Hospitalized
Pesticide Poisonings covering the interval 1971-1973 (1).
BACKGROUND
The use of pesticides throughout the United States continues to become
increasingly widespread (2), and more people are being exposed to these
potentially hazardous compounds. There 1s a growing concern that, along
with increased pesticide use and exposure, the national Incidence of
pesticide-related morbidity and mortality may also be increasing.
Since all pesticides are toxic, exposure to these compounds through
improper use or accident can lead to Illness and even death. Acute or
chronic exposure can occur by the oral, dermal, or respiratory routes.
Examples of exposure are by means of intentional or accidental ingestion,
occupational contamination, or through Incidental exposure resulting from
small amounts of pesticides in air, food, and water (3).
Morbidity and mortality associated with pesticide exposure may be
influenced by a number of contributing factors such as the pesticide's
toxldty, formulation, and Its route of exposure, and the age, sex, health
status, or other characteristics of the exposed Individuals. Mortality
estimates related to pesticide Intoxications are usually more reliable than
morbidity data. Previous pesticide mortality studies 1n the United States
Indicated that deaths due to pesticide Intoxication have been reduced over
the last two decades. A study based on U.S. vital statistics for the years
-------
1946 to 1956 recorded that pesticides accounted for approximately 150 deaths
annually, and that the death rate associated with all pesticides in the U.S.
was about 1.0 per million population (3). A national study of U.S. deaths
in 1961 demonstrated that 111 poisoning deaths were attributed to identi-
fiable pesticides (4). More recent mortality studies have provided data
which reveal a downward trend in the number of pesticide poisoning deaths.
A review of 1969 U.S. deaths demonstrated that pesticides accounted for 87
deaths (5), and a similar study revealed that 61 deaths due to pesticide
intoxication occurred in 1973, and 52 occurred in 1974 (6). Following the
study on mortality from pesticides in the U.S. during 1973 and 1974, Hayes
and Vaughn (6) concluded that the reduction 1n pesticide-caused deaths has
been accompanied by a continuing reduction in poisonings involving children
less than 10 years old and by a decrease in the proportion of pesticide
deaths among places with populations greater than 2500.
Morbidity statistics for the U.S. are much less complete than the
mortality data. The national study (1) for the period 1971-1973 and the
recent national study for the period 1974-1976 were conducted to obtain
more comprehensive pesticide morbidity indices for the total U.S. popula-
tion. The National Clearing House for Poison Control Centers throughout
the U.S. also compiles poisoning data that includes information on pesticide-
related incidents. However, the majority of previous studies of pesticide-
related morbidity have focused on selected geographic regions of the country.
Such studies were conducted in Florida for 1956-1967 data (7), in New Orleans,
Louisiana for 1965-1967 (8), in the Lower Rio Grand Valley of Texas from
1961-1969 (9, 10), in South Carolina from 1971-1973 (11), and in Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania from 1972-1973 (12).
The Colorado Epidemiologic Pesticide Studies Center's study of hospi-
talized acute pesticide poisonings during the years 1971-1973 was completed
-2-
-------
in 1975 (1). It was the first study to collect uniform national data for
acute pesticide poisonings admitted to general-care hospitals in the United
States. A stratified random sample of the 7000 general-care hospitals in
the United States was used to estimate national incidence rates for pesticide-
related morbidity and mortality. From the number of deaths observed in the
study sample, it was estimated that 49, 92 and 54 deaths due to pesticide
intoxication occurred in the United States during the years 1971, 1972, and
1973, respectively. These estimates indicated that with the exception of
1972, pesticide-related mortality is steadily decreasing with time. On the
other hand, the study's morbidity estimates of 2596, 2921, and 2831 cases
for the years 1971, 1972, and 1973, respectively, indicate an increase in
hospitalized acute pesticide illness. Nationwide estimates of incidence
rates were 8.2 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions in 1971, 8.8 in 1972,
and 8.5 in 1973. Nonoccupational pesticide poisonings, excluding intentional
poisonings, accounted for approximately half of the poisoning episodes; 1294,
in 1971, 1725 in 1972, and 1446 in 1973. The number of hospitalized acute
pesticide poisonings among children of ages of four years or less were esti-
mated as 995, 1281, and 1001 for the years 1971, 1972, and 1973, respectively.
Similarly, the rates of occupational pesticide poisonings did not Increase
in incidence, and they varied between 1.9 and 2.5 per 100,000 hospital admis-
sions during 1971, 1972, and 1973.
Although data from the study of hospitalized acute pesticide poisonings
during 1971 to 1973 has provided the first uniform and nationwide incidence
estimates, there has not yet been a sufficient accumulation of data to
determine the current pesticide-related illness trend in the United States.
It will be necessary to acquire and analyze similar data for an extended
time period in order to evaluate the validity of the incidence data and to
determine the characteristics of pesticide poisoning trends.

-------
SCOPE
This study extends the 1971-1973 study of hospitalized acute pesticide
poisonings with data for the years 1974 through 1976. Previous estimates of
pesticide poisoning incidence have focused on various geographic regions or
have lacked uniformity in the identification, characterization, and report-
ing of pesticide poisonings. Consequently, there is a need to continue the
development of a reliable assessment of the incidence of pesticide poisoning
nationally.
The use of hospital-based data provides for the greatest uniformity
and accuracy in identifying and studying cases, even though the actual inci-
dence rate may be under-reported by this method. Thus, it will provide
comparable data for analyzing and comparing trends during the six years of
study.

METHODS
~ The objective of the studys as stated previously, was to develop nation-
wide incidence rates for hospitalized acute pesticide poisoning cases among
those persons admitted to general-care hospitals. The sample population
were patients in the approximately 7,000 general-care hospitals in the United
States. A hospital is classified general care by the American Hospital
Association (AHA) if the majority of its admissions are general medical and
surgery cases (13).
In this study, hospitals were the primary sampling units. From a com-
plete list of general-care hospitals in the United States a probability
sample was selected according to the following design. Each hospital repre-
sented a cluster of admissions. Once a hospital was selected the entire
cluster was observed in order to count the number of pesticide cases occur-
ring within the cluster. To increase precision of the estimates, the
population of general-care hospitals was stratified according to state and
hospital size within each state. From this sampling frame the study was
selected.
The stratification plan was similar to that used in the previous study
of hospitalized pesticide poisonings. Hospitals within each state were
ranked according to their total number of admissions for 1975 as reported
by the American Hospital Association. They were then divided into n strata
of approximately equal size, where n represents the number of hospitals
to be selected from each state. The value of n varied since the number
of sampled hospitals was proportional to the number of hospitals listed for
each state. From each stratum within a state, one hospital was selected at
random. The stratified sample design used for each state is illustrated by
the sampling of hospitals in Nevada, as displayed in Figure 1. Although the

probability of obtaining a given hospital under this plan is approximately
equal to the probability of obtaining that hospital using simple random
sampling, stratification ensures that the distribution of admissions during
the sampled hospitals will be representative of the distribution of admis-
sions among all hospitals in the population of general-care hospitals.
A more detailed discussion of stratified random sampling can be found
in most texts on statistical sampling. Cochran notes, "If intelligently
used, stratification nearly always results in a smaller variance for the
mean or total than is given by a comparable simple random sample" (14).
Furthermore, in the present study, precision was increased by stratification
In view of the following conditions:
1. The population was composed of hospitals varying widely In size.
2, The principal variable to be measured was closely related to the
size of the hospitals.
3. A good measure of size, namely, number of admissions, was
available for setting up the strata.
Estimates of the incidence rate of hospitalized pesticide poisonings
should take the sampling design Into account. Of the many ways to estimate
the Incidence rate 1n stratified random sampling, two of the more natural
estimators are the combined ratio estimate

Within a given state, YC and YST are estimates of the total number of
hospitalized poisonings, n is the number of admissions strata, and is
the total admissions of all hospitals within the state. Within the hth
admissions stratum, N^ and X^ are, respectively, the number and total
admissions of all hospitals, n^ and XL are the number and total admissions
of the sampled hospitals, and y^ is the number of observed hospitalized
pesticide poisonings in the h admissions stratum.
Although the stratified ratio estimate does not require the assumption
that the true incidence rate remains constant from stratum to stratum it Is
susceptible to bias if the sample size within each stratum is small. Since
typically only one hospital was selected within each admissions stratum this
problem of bias arises. A better estimate of the incidence rate would be
A
obtained by using the combined ratio estimate YC, which is less susceptible
under these circumstances. However, because typically only one hospital with-
in each admissions stratum was selected, the variance of YC cannot be directly
estimated. Because the sampling plan renders the ratio Nh/nh
approximately constant over admissions strata, the combined ratio
estimator is approximately equivalent to the simple ratio estimator
v =l x
A«
The estimator Y arises from Ignoring stratification by admissions and
therefore assumes that the true incidence rate is constant over admissions
Because Y is approximately equivalent to YC, and because an estimate of
the variance of Y can be obtained, it was decided to use Y to estimate
the incidence rate of hospitalized pesticide poisoning within each state.
-8-
-------
Thus, for each year from 1974 to 1976, the sample was stratified with
the main strata being the states. Because this report provides incidence
rates for the 10 subdivisions of the nation designated as U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) regions, the following notation will be used where
subpopulation refers to all general-care hospitals (i.e., AHA Class 10 hospi-
tals), within a given state for a given year.
Incidence rates were estimated separately for each year of the interval
1974 to 1976 for individual states and for EPA regions. The following
notation was used in estimating incidence of the s state of region r:
nfs = number of hospitals sampled;
Nrs = number of hospitals in the sampled subpopulation;
xrs1 = admission of the 1 sampled hospital;
yrsi- = number of cases seen 1n the ith sampled hospital;
xrs « admissions of all nrs sampled hospitals;
yrs = total number of cases seen 1n all nps sampled hospitals;
Xrs - total admissions of all hospitals in the 5th state, and
A
Prs = yrs/xrs denotes tne proportion of total cases to total admissions
for sampled hospitals.
Therefore, within the sth state of region r, the estimated incidence of
pesticide related admissions can be expressed in terms of the number of
admissions to the subpopulation; in particular,
A A
Y = P X
rs rrs Ars
Thus, the incidence rate per 100,000 admissions is given by
Rrs = 100,000 Prs
-9-
-------
The variance of the estimator was calculated according to the formula used
for simple ratio estimators:
n»c
" i(N - n ) N / * *2
i a v'Ys rs' rs y (v . -P
rsj n in rp i-i rsi rs
rs ^ rs '
The appropriate estimate of incidence for a region is simply the sum of the
estimates of incidence for the states within the region:
, "r ,
V z Yrs *
r s=l rs
Where nr is the number of states in the region. Since the estimates for
the states within a region are Independent, the variance of the estimate
for the region is simply the sum of the variances of the state estimates
in the region:
. nr .
V[Yr] = V[Yrs]
Expressed as a rate 1n terms of 100,000 admissions, the incidence and
corresponding variance are, respectively:
A ' '
R = Yr x 100,000
r V
2 V[Yr]
Where Xr is the total admissions of all hospitals in the region.
-10-
-------
Besides total incidence (Y and R) it was desirable to obtain incidence
rates for various segments of the population. For example, the incidence
rates of intentional and accidental poisonings were of interest as were
incidence rates for various age groups in the population. The estimation
of such incidence rates followed the same ratio estimation procedure as
described above.
Nonresponse of selected hospitals was taken into consideration in the
study design. The hospital administrator at each selected hospital was
initially notified by letter of the hospital's selection and of the approxi-
mate date that a field epidemiologist would be visiting the hospital.
Personal visits to hospitals were used in an effort to increase hospital
participation, although it was anticipated that some hospital administrators
would deny their hospital's participation. Other factors leading to non- ,
response were due to the hospital's inability to identify the appropriate
ICDA codes or unavailability of hospital administrator or record librarian
at the time of the field visit.
The population of hospitals were divided into two main strata: those
participating hospitals for which patient records were available; and those
hospitals for which records were not accessible, even after a second
contact was made in an attempt to obtain the needed records. A random
subsample of the hospitals in the nonresponse stratum was selected in
order to compare characteristics of these hospitals with those of parti-
cipating hospitals.
Field epidemiologists were trained to abstract records for all patients
with the designated ICDA codes. The training consisted of a workshop course,
which was held in Fort Collins, Colorado in July 1977. Investigators
followed specific and standard directions in abstracting data from hospital
-11-.
-------
records in order to obtain maximum uniformity in data. The completed data
forms were edited and coded according to the procedures presented in the
training manual for the study (Appendix T).

RESULTS
A total of 754 hospitals (approximately 12% of all U.S. general care
hospitals) were in this study. The number of general-care hospitals in
each state, the number of hospitals sampled per state, and the number of
total hospital admissions, are included in Appendix C. The geographic
distribution of hospitals participating in this study is depicted in Figure

Hospitalized Pesticide Poisonings and Incidence Rates by Nation and EPA Region
The estimated number of hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings in the
United States in 1974-1976 was 9278. The estimated number of pesticide
poisonings was 2954 in 1974, 3314 in 1975, and 3010 in 1976. The standard
error of the estimated number of hospitalized pesticide poisonings for 1974-
1976 was, respectively, 232, 246, and 186 (Appendix S). Incidence rates
per 100,000 hospital admissions were not significantly different for the
three years: 8.7 in 1974; 9.6 in 1975; and 8.5 in 1976.
In 1974, the estimated number of hospitalized pesticide poisonings
ranged from 24 in EPA Region I to 801 in Region IV. Incidence rates per
100,000 hospital admissions ranged from 1.3 in Region I to 13.6 in Region
IV. The variation among the regions was highly significant (P<.01). In
1975, the number of hospitalized pesticide poisonings ranged from 71 in
EPA Region I to 985 in Region IV. Incidence rates per 100,000 hospitalized
admissions ranged from 3.8 and 3.9 in Regions II and I, respectively, to
16.3 in Region IV; the estimated regional incidence rates were found to be
heterogeneous (P<.01). In 1976, the estimated number of hospitalized pesti-
cide poisonings ranged from 25 in Region VIII to 755 in Region IV. Incidence
rates per 100,000 admissions ranged from 2.2 in Region VIII to 12.9 in Region

VII. As for 1974 and 1975, the estimated incidence rates among the 10 EPA
regions were significantly different (P<.01).
Poisonings and Rates by Cause of Exposure - Intentional, Non-occupational,
Occupational
Nationally, the estimated number of intentional pesticide poisonings
in general-care hospitals was 535 in 1974, 499 in 1975, and 446 in 1976.
The incidence rates did not differ significantly (P>.05) during the three
year period.
The national estimates of non-occupational pesticide poisonings
increased from 1641 in 1974 to 1806 In 1976. Incidence rates of the non-
occupational ly exposed groups were similar for 1974 through 1976 (P>.05).
In 1975, Region IV, with an estimated number of 453 non-occupationally
exposed pesticide poisonings was highest among the regions. The incidence
rate of non-occupational pesticide poisonings was highest for Region VII
(9.5 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions). In 1976, Region IV, with an
estimated number of 599 non-occupationally exposed pesticide poisonings,
was highest among the 10 geographic regions in both estimated numbers and
incidence rate (9.6 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions).
Nationally, the estimated number of pesticide poisonings admitted to
general-care hospitals as a result of occupational exposure was highest in
1975. Incidence rates of pesticide poisonings per 100,000 hospital admis-
sions in the occupationally exposed group were 2.0 in 1974, 2.8 in 1975,
and decreased to 1.9 in 1976.
In 1974, Region IV had an estimated 229 occupationally related pesticide
poisonings and Region VI had an incidence rate of 3.9 cases per 100,000
hospital admissions. These were the highest rates among the regions.
-15-
-------
In 1975, Region IV had the largest estimated number of occupationally
related pesticide poisonings of 365 and an incidence rate of 6.0 cases per
100,000 hospital admissions. Region VII had the highest incidence rate of
7.0 per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1976, Region VI had an estimated 214 occupationally related pesticide
poisonings, the highest among the regions, and also had the highest incidence
rate of 5.3 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1974, farmers had an estimated 234 admitted pesticide poisonings,
the highest number of any occupationally exposed group. Region IV had an
estimated 120 admitted pesticide poisonings in this group, the highest of
any region. Region VI had the highest incidence rate among farmers, 0.9
cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1975, farmers experienced an estimated 274 hospital-admitted pesti-
cide poisonings, the highest number of any occupationally exposed group.
Region IV had an estimated 122 admitted pesticide poisonings, the highest
among the regions. Region IV also experienced the highest incidence rate
among farmers, 2.0 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1976, farmers encountered an estimated 189 hospital-admitted pesti-
cide poisonings, once again the highest of any occupationally exposed group.
On a regional basis, Region IV had an estimated 80 admitted pesticide
poisonings in this group, highest among the regions. Region IV had the
highest incidence rate among the hospital-admitted farmers with 1.3 pesti-
cide poisonings per 100,000 hospital admissions.
Poisonings and Rates by Major Pesticide Class
Organophosphates were most often involved in occupationally related
hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings in 1974 and 1976.
-16-
-------
In 1974, organophosphates were involved in an estimated 341 such poison-
ings; chlorinated hydrocarbons were estimated to be responsible for only 49
cases. Region IV had an estimated 130 organophosphate poisonings, highest
among the regions. Region IX had the highest incidence rate of organophos-
phate poisonings (2.4 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions).
In 1975, organophosphates were involved in an estimated 291 occupationally
related hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings; chlorinated hydrocarbons were
estimated to be responsible for only 42 such cases. However, "other" compounds
were involved in an estimated 392 occupationally related hospital-admitted
pesticide poisonings. Region IV, with an estimated 93 organophosphate poison-
ings, and Region VII, with an incidence rate of 1.9 cases per 100,000 admis-
sions, were high among all EPA regions.
In 1976, organophosphate pesticides contributed to an estimated 331 occu-
pational ly related hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings. Region VI had an
estimated 107 organophosphate poisonings, highest of all EPA regions. Region
VII had the highest incidence rate of organophosphate pesticide poisonings
(2.9 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions). It is of considerable interest
that the chlorinated hydrocarbons did not cause any poisonings in the occupa-
tional related group.
Poisonings and Rates Among Children 0-4 Years
In 1974, an estimated 1015 children 0-4 years of age were admitted to
hospitals as a result of pesticide poisonings. In Region V, an estimated
231 children were admitted to hospitals, more than in any other region.
Region IX had an incidence rate of 5.1 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions,
highest among all regions.
In 1975, an estimated 1186 children under 5 years of age were admitted
to hospitals as a result of pesticide poisonings. In Region IV, an estimated
-17-
-------
271 children were admitted to hospitals, more than in any other region.
Region IX had an incidence rate of 7.1 cases per 100,000 admissions, the
highest among all regions.
In 1976, an estimated 1181 children 0-4 years of age were hospitalized
as a result of pesticide poisonings. Again Region IV, with an estimated
278 children admitted, was highest among all regions. Region IX had an
incidence rate of 5.6 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions, higher than any
other region.
Poisoning Deaths by Cause of Exposure and Age
A total of 120 of the estimated number of hospitalized pesticide
poisonings resulted in death. An estimated 48 hospitalized individuals
died in 1974 because of pesticide poisonings. None of these were occupa-
tionally related deaths. It was estimated that 24 persons died In hospitals
as a result of pesticide poisonings in 1975. There were no occupationally
related deaths. An estimated 48 hospital-admitted deaths occurred in 1976
as a result of pesticide poisonings. Approximately 16 of these were occupa-
tional ly exposed workers.
In 1974-1976, among occupationally exposed workers, 8 deaths were
estimated in the 35-44 year age group, and another 8 in the 45-54 year age
group. During the same 3-year period, 8 deaths were estimated in the non-
occuational hospital admitted pesticide poisonings among children under
5 years of age.

DISCUSSION
One of the primary objectives of the Second National Study of Hospi-
talized Pesticide Poisonings, 1974-1976, was to serve as a source of
continuous data to supplement the first national study of pesticide poison-
ings completed for 1971-1973. Both the methodology used in the design and
the procedures for estimating the frequency of hospitalized pesticide
poisonings and rates per 100,000 hospital admissions in the second national
study were compatible to those methods used in the first study. In fact,
12 percent of the hospitals in the second study participated in the first
national study of hospitalized pesticide poisonings. The compatibility
between the two studies allowed for yearly comparisons, as well as compari-
sons between the two three-year periods.
The first Study of Hospitalized Pesticide Poisonings in the United
States, 1971-1973 (1) reported, not only on the estimated numbers and rates
of hospitalized pesticide poisonings, but also on the various epidemiologic
factors related to hospital admitted pesticide poisonings, such as person,
place, time, and agent factors. However, for the sake of comparability with
results in EPA's summary (15) of our results for 1971-1973, this report
presents only estimated numbers and rates of hospital admitted pesticide
poisonings for 1974-1976 in a similar format. For a complete review of the
results of the 1971-1973 study that are briefly presented in this discussion,
the reader is encouraged to review the report on the first National Study of
Hospitalized Pesticide Poisonings (1).
The estimated rate of hospital admitted pesticide poisonings per 106,000
hospital admissions in the United States remained quite stable over the six-
year study period, having ranged from 8.2 in 1971 to 9.6 1n 1975 (see Table
105). In particular, the difference 1n the average estimated rate for the two
three-year periods was not statistically significant (8.5 and 8.9, respectively),
-19-
-------
In spite of the stable national rate, an examination of Table 106 reveals
that many of the annual estimated rates for the EPA regions fluctuated both
within and among regions during the six years, 1971-1976. The Incidence
rates for EPA Region I remained low and relatively stable throughout the six
years of study. Similarly, Regions V and VI each had nearly constant rates
for 1971 through 1976, ranging from 5.6 to 6.9 and 11.0 to 12.8, respectively.
For the period 1971-1976, the rates for Regions II, IV and VII increased,
while those for Regions III, VIII and IX decreased. On a year-by-year basis,
the rates for Regions IV, VI and IX were consistently 1n excess of the rate
for the total U.S. On the other hand, the rates for Regions, I, II and V
were consistently lower than the annual U.S. rate. The rates for Regions
III, VII, VIII and X showed large fluctuations per year. However, the differ-
ence in the average estimated rates for the two three-year periods was statis-
tically significant (p=.05) for only Region III.
The estimated rates of hospitalized pesticide poisonings, as categorized
by type of exposure (i.e., occupational, non-occupational, and Intentional)
were homogeneous within each category throughout the six-year period (see
Table 107). In each of the two three-year periods, the average estimated
incidence rate of non-occupational poisonings was double that of occupational
poisonings. The estimated incidence rates of intentional poisonings remained
consistently low with a range of 1.3 to 1.6 per 100,000 hospital admissions.
Within the occupational group, fanners continued to experience the highest
estimated rate of hospitalized pesticide poisonings (Table 108). The only
occupational groups which experienced an Increase 1n the rate of hospitalized
pesticide poisonings during the second three-year study were farmers and
agricultural workers.
-20-
-------
Rates of hospitalized pesticide poisonings in the occupational category
were also estimated by major pesticide class. The rate for organophosphate
related hospitalized poisonings decreased over the six-year time span. The
only other noticeable change was the increase in the poisoning rate caused by
compounds in the "other" category (Table 109).
The number of pesticide deaths occurring during the two three-year study
periods were 25 in 1971-1973 and 15 in 1974-1976. Of the 25 deaths observed
in 1971-1973, 15 were intentional, 6 were non-occupational (including 2
children less than 10 years of age), 3 were occupational and 1 was unknown.
Of the 15 observed deaths in 1974-1976, 9 were intentional, 3 were non-
occupational (including 1 child less than 10 years of age), 2 were occupa-
tional, and 1 was unknown.
SUMMARY
The national estimated rate of hospitalized pesticide poisonings ranged
from 8.2 to 9.6 during the six years of the study. The six-year study of
hospitalized pesticide poisonings has revealed that approximately one of
every two pesticide poisonings occur in the non-occupational exposure group.
In this group, children under 10 years of age account for the greatest number
of hospitalized cases. Although the estimated rate of intentional pesticide
poisonings was lower than that for occupational and non-occupational
hospitalized pesticide poisonings, the Intentional hospitalized cases account
for approximately 58% of all the deaths. The national hospitalized pesticide
poisoning rates remained quite stable during the six-year data period, but
several of the EPA regional rates fluctuated from year to year. The organo-
phosphate compounds accounted for a large number of hospitalized cases In the
occupatlonally exposed group. During the second study, many poisoning cases
were caused by unknown compounds.
