cited reference, In many developing nations pesticides are indiscriminately sold without health warnings. Few farmers properly use the chemicals, resulting in poisoning and a growing number of related deaths. Some developing nations are even producing their own pesticides. Governments needs to control pesticides, and manufacturers need to adhere to ethical rules when dealing with developing nations. Environmental and health risk information must be available, and national organizations should be formed to promote safeguards.
