Agriculture Industry – Pesticide Exposure
In the agriculture industry, workers deal with a variety of plants and products every day. Unfortunately, they may also come into contact with dangerous chemicals, particularly pesticide and insecticides, as well as other risky irritants like:
- Carbon dioxide
- Mold
- Yeast
- Fungi
When they come into contact with irritants like pesticides, workers in the agriculture industry may experience health issues ranging from chemical burns to asthma symptoms. In some cases, extreme or frequent exposure to irritants or chemicals can lead to permanent eye, nose, or throat damage.
Additionally, frequent exposure to chemicals and irritants puts agriculture workers at an increased risk of respiratory diseases, kidney and liver problems, and certain cancers.
Due to the risk of exposure to chemicals and irritants, it may be difficult for your agriculture industry clients to find coverage.
