Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the situation based on the inquiries to the Toxicological Information Centre (TIC) in Prague, which serves to the total Czech population of approximately 10 million inhabitants.

In all years, the information on the type of pecticide, dose, time, and way of exposure, age and gender of the patients, reason of ingestion, symptoms, and treatment recommended was available.
