Epidemiology
The incidence of organophosphate poisoning depends on the extent of use and ease of access. In the UK and other developed countries, relatively few people are involved in agricultural activity, and occupational health and safety standards are usually enforced, making serious or fatal poisoning uncommon.[1] However, enquiries about exposure and reports of minor exposures to Poisons Information Services are surprisingly common.[2]
