    This is one of about 70 fact sheets (already published) contained in the FAO eLearning center folder Children are exposed to pesticides through their work or involvement in agricultural activities, which can harm their health and development. This course explains how children are exposed, why children are more vulnerable than adults to exposure and the negative impacts. Moreover, it identifies specific actions related to pesticide management that can take child labour into account and reduce children's exposure to pesticides. It aims to build specific skills, depending on work-related responsibilities and tasks, by providing concrete ideas and guidance that can be applied in real life situations.

    Improving pesticide management has become a global priority to protect the human health and the environment. Pesticides are heavily used particularly in agriculture (and also in public health for pest control), where children are exposed to these pesticides as workers, bystanders, and consumers. They are particularly vulnerable to pesticide exposure for various biological and behavioural reasons.
