With the most cases of pesticide poisoning (144 cases) in 2012 and the least (48 cases) in 2018. The cases were mainly distributed in Jizhou (312 cases) , Baodi District (247 cases) and Jinnan district (140 cases) , with a total of 699 cases (80.90%) . The time was mainly from May to August, in which non-productive pesticide poisoning occurred in each month, the concentration of productive pesticide poisoning occurred from April to August in spring and summer, and reached its peak in July and August.

目的: 了解天津市农药中毒的现状、发病规律及其特点,为制定农药中毒防治策略提供科学依据。 方法: 2019年8月,从中国疾病预防控制信息系统导出相关农药中毒报告卡,以天津市2009至2018年农药中毒病例共计864例为研究对象,以SPSS 24.0进行数据处理,用χ(2)检验进行统计学分析。 结果: 2009至2018年天津市共报告农药中毒死亡病例56例,病死率6.48%(56/864);其中生产性农药中毒166例(病死率19.21%),非生产性农药中毒698例(病死率80.79%),病死率差异有统计学意义(χ(2)=11.72,P<0.05)。2012年农药中毒病例最多(144例),2018年最少(48例)。病例分布主要集中在蓟州区(312例)、宝坻区(247例)和津南区(140例),共计699例(80.90%)。中毒发生时间主要集中在5~8月,其中非生产性农药中毒各月均有发生,生产性农药中毒集中发生在4~8月中毒发生。年龄以35~44岁最多(188例,21.76%),15岁以下最少(8例,0.93%)。药品类型以杀虫剂类最多(551例,63.77%),各年龄组间病死率差异有统计学意义(χ(2)(趋势)=46.09,P<0.05)。 结论: 有关部门应加强农药安全使用宣教及监管工作,提高农民危害认知及自我防护意识,以减少和预防本市农药中毒的发生。.
