Fertilizers play a crucial role in modem agriculture by significantly increasing crop yields and improving overall agricultural productivity. While fertilizers are essential for boosting crop yields and ensuring food security, their production and use introduce significant environmental and health risks. Farmers, fertilizer manufacturers, and those involved in the handling and application of these products are all susceptible to exposure. Occupational exposure to fertilizers can pose various health risks, including respiratory problems, skin and eye irritation, and potential long-term effects like cancer or endocrine disruption. Protective measures such as using personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and safe handling practices are crucial to mitigate these risks.
