This
table shows year-2000 cases of definite probable, and possible pesticide
exposures by pesticide. The most
common pesticide was pyrethrin, again, due to a single mass exposure to workers
in an office building.
Other
pesticides with multiple exposures include abamectin, alkyl dimethyl benzyl
ammonium chloride, and deltamethrin.
