MACHILIPATNAM (Andhra Pradesh): The Department of Science (DST) has roped in Krishna University to conduct disease mapping and documentation of geospatial data on health hazards owing to indiscriminate usage of pesticides in Krishna and Guntur districts.

The study, which began at Ayyanki in Krishna district, will cover seven mandals, including Thulluru and Amaravati in Guntur district, where use of pesticides has been excessive. In Krishna, it will cover Diviseema region. The study, titled ‘Reducing human and environmental risks of pesticides in Krishna and Guntur districts, a robust GIS-based tool for priority setting’, is part of a national networking project of National Geospatial Public Health Data and Management System.

Experts from India’s premier research institutions are involved in the study, which will simultaneously map diseases across select locations in other parts of the country. “Pregnant women as farm workers are exposed to pesticides in Krishna and Guntur districts, where the study will document diseases caused by pesticides, soil degradation and ground water quality,” I.V. Murali Krishna, national co-ordinator of the study, said. The two-year research will be done by Prof. M.V. Basaveswara Rao and Mr. P.V. Brahmachari of Krishna University.

“Geospatial analysis and modelling of diseases and usage of pesticides will streamline the health management information system, and the results will be shared with the Ministry of Health,” Mr. Murali Krishna added.
