Pesticide Use & Occupational Health in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling pesticide exposure and occupational health outcomes among agricultural workers in SSA. Climate change extends growing seasons and increases pest pressure, driving higher pesticide use. WHO estimates 385 million cases of acute pesticide poisoning annually worldwide, with SSA disproportionately affected due to low PPE use, banned pesticide availability, and heat-amplified dermal absorption.

Scenarios

Smallholder Intensification: Small-scale farmers with minimal PPE and training.
Commercial Farm Export: Large-scale export agriculture with better but incomplete protections.
Urban Peri-Urban Agriculture: Urban farming with mixed pesticide practices.
