Context: The Union Government of India is bringing a Pesticide Management Bill, in Parliament. The Bill has far-reaching implications for medical fraternity from reshaping occupational and environmental exposure thresholds to redefining medico-legal protocols around acute and chronic poisoning. According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) ~30,000 people die of acute impact of pesticides yearly in India. This does not include chronic impact deaths. The Bill introduces a new regulatory architecture for the registration, manufacture, storage, sale, use, import, advertisement, packaging, labeling and transport of pesticides. Despite its direct clinical relevance, the medical community has largely remained outside the legislative discourse. This webinar seeks to correct that gap.
