Information Booklet on Indian Insecticides

Insecticide poisoning is a major problem in india, and so is the mortality and morbidity associated with this potentially and completely treatable condition.with increasing farmer's suicide in this part of the country it becomes still more important to have the information about this problem.
When we get a patient of insecticide poisoning first step is to identify the poison group.With the same insecticide chemical available in market as n number of trade names, this initial step itself becomes difficult to workout.This book is an effort to solve this problem partially is not completely.
It contains the data of approx 2000 insecticides trades available in india , their corresponding chemical names,group names, name of company and its adress ,contact number.The Internaional Poison centres inIndia thier role, thier e mail id , emergency contact numbers are also been given.
Lets hope it to help in starting the antidote therapy at early stage of poisoning.
