TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Deaths from pesticide poisoning: a global response JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Bertolote, José Manoel A1 - Fleischmann, Alexandra A1 - Eddleston, Michael A1 - Gunnell, David SP - 201 EP - 203 VL - 189 IS - 3 N2 - Self-poisoning with pesticides accounts for about a third of all suicides worldwide. To tackle this problem, the World Health Organization announced a global public health initiative in the second half of 2005. Planned approaches were to range from government regulatory action to the development of new treatments for pesticide poisoning. With broad-based support, this strategy should have a major impact on the global burden of suicide.
