 Reporting
a poisoning
Reporting pesticide poisonings is vital for understanding the extent
of pesticide-related illnesses. In some states, physicians are required
to report pesticide poisoning; in others it is a reportable condition.
The PAN Pesticide Poisoning Diagnostic Tool makes reporting easy,
providing direct links through which to download appropriate forms
from state offices, as well as links to state reporting requirements..

Information Resources
Reporting
information resources The
primary source of state reporting requirements are state departments
of health. If state reporting laws are available
online, those links are provided. Reporting contact information
was collected by direct contact with departments of health, and
state or regional poison control centers and from online sources.
PANNA staff also consulted with members of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Sentinel Event
Notification System for Occupational Risk (SENSOR) Pesticide Group
to obtain
state-specific information.
