‘Indian Council of Medical Research to take up the project in seven States’

An Indian Council of Medical Research-sponsored health impact study will be taken up in seven States which use maximum pesticides for agriculture, according to Dr. V.M. Katoch, Secretary, Department of Health Research and Director-General, ICMR.

Talking to reporters after inaugurating a two-day international conference on “Emerging issues on Health Effects of Pesticide Residues in Food and Environment-Unmet Challenges and Research” organised by the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) here on Thursday, he said various health facilities in those States, including private, PHCs and CHCs (community health centres) would look into the possible side-effects due to pesticide use.

Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh are among the high-pesticide consuming States in which the study would be launched from March next.

He said the health professionals would be looking into the side-effects relating to reproduction, endocrine and neurology, among others. Subsequently, the study would be expanded and all States would be covered.

Earlier, inaugurating the meet, Dr. Katoch stressed the need for well-defined population-based studies on the effect of pesticides involving medical, agricultural and other experts.

In his key-note address, Dr. Philippe Verger, WHO, Geneva, said by their nature, pesticides were potentially toxic to humans. However, over 35 per cent of the world’s food supply would be lost without the use of pesticides. With already one billion hungry ( about 15 per cent of the human population) and with an expected population of nine billion by 2050, the world needs significant increase in food production.

He said “moreover in a globalized market, food trade is also a source of income for developing countries and a way to reduce poverty and speed up development. Therefore, it is likely that a significant increase of pesticide use will be an unavoidable consequence of this intensification of food production, even if increasing voices are asking for a more a sustainable development for the future than during the past century”.

Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Government of AP, L.V. Subramanyam, said the results of research should translate into policy framework that benefits humanity.

In-charge Director NIN, Kalpagam Polasa welcomed the delegates.
