In order to offer an basic data for the prevention of pesticide poisoning this study was carried out at Chun Song County, Kang Won Province for the period from 1983 to 1985. The major results are as follows: 1. The rates of those who read an explanation of pesticidesbefore scattering are 76.5% in 1983, 82.6% in 1984, 85.8 % in 1985 but among these people the rates of those who practice as explanation are 78.2%, 72.2%, 41.4% every year. 2. More than 50% of those who scatter pesticides feel pesticide poisoning. 3. The difference in average time of pesticide scattering and pesticide poisoning reveals statistical significance (P < 0.05). 4. Among those who feel pesticide poisoning, 85.5% in 1984, 87.3% in 1985 are due to insecticides.
