Table 4.
Number of acute pesticide poisoning cases among retail and non-agricultural, non-retail workers 15–64 years of age, full-time equivalent estimates, incidence rates, and incidence rate ratios, by year, 1998–2004 (N=287)
FTE = full-time equivalent, in millions.
Incidence rates per million FTEs. Includes only retail workers in Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
Incidence rates per million FTEs. Includes only non-agricultural, non-retail workers in Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
Compares the rate of acute pesticide poisoning among retail workers for a given year with non-agricultural, non-retail workers. Cases are those identified by participating SENSOR-Pesticides states.
IRR = incidence rate ratios
