3. ANIMAL HEALTH

4. HUMAN HEALTH

5. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

6. ONE HEALTH
 A concept that became an approach and then a
movement.
 To improve health and well-being through the
prevention of risks and the mitigation of effects of
crises that originate at the interface between humans,
animals and their various environments.

7. ENDOSULFAN
 A toxic organochlorine pesticide of moderate
mammalian toxicity which does not
accumulate in the tissues of man or animals
to any significant extent.
 But undiluted Endosulfan is slowly and in
incompletely absorbed in gut of warm
blooded animals.

8. Endosulfan As An Environmental Health Hazard

9. Endosulfan As An Environmental Health Hazard
The Kasaragod district has cashew plantations
which extend to about 5600 acres, spreading through
habitations, water bodies and hills in about 11
Panchayaths. Endosulfan; an organochlorine
insecticide and acaricide was aerially sprayed in
these plantations since 1983 regularly 3 times every
year up to 26th December 2000.

10.  Alarmingly high levels of neurological,
developmental, carcinogenic, dermatological and
psychological disorders are being reported from
among people living here. Since 1996, popular
agitations in the affected areas erupted against the
apathy towards the victims citing endosulfan as the
main culprit.

11. ADVERSE EFFECTS IN HUMANS
 Head ache
 Dizziness
 Skin lesions
 Sudden abortion
 Neurological disorders
 Epilepsy
 Cerebral palsy
 Malignancy

12. Adverse Effects In Human Beings
Skin lesions

13. Neurological Disorders

14. CONGENITAL ANOMALIES

17. IN ANIMALS
Sudden death
Congenital anomalies
Skin lesions
IN BIRDS
Hyper excitability
Tremors
Convulsions
Ataxia

19. ONE HEALTH APPROACH
 Animals act as an sentinels for Endosulfan toxicity.
 Affected animals can be treated by detoxification and other
relevant treatment methods of different systems of medicine.
 Studies in animals reveal the concentration of toxin in relative
manner.
 It helps the human health professionals and environmental health
professionals to tackle the situation.

20. MANAGEMENT
1. Complete ban or judicious use of
endosulfan.
2. Detoxification of the pesticide residues.
3. Conduct health/ awareness camps.
4. Rehabilitation of victims.
