摘要：Summary. - In the United States there are numerous state-based and national surveillance systems that
collect data on acute pesticide-related illnesses and injuries. On the state level, Arizona, California, Florida,
Louisiana, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington routinely collect illness data due to pesticide exposure
and conduct comprehensive case investigations. On the national level, the American Association of Poison
Control Centers coordinates the Toxic Exposure Surveillance System, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides
annual estimates of the number of occupational pesticide-related illnesses and injuries that result in days
away from work. The various systems are described and compared, and examples are provided of prevention
measures that have been implemented as a result of surveillance activities.
