Objective: We assessed whether the regulations for the use of pesticide in shops were being appropriately followed in Southeastern Anatolia (GAP). Methods: This descriptive study was completed in 326 shops that sold pesticides, selected from 342 places, in the GAP region in 2013. Observations made and questionnaires were used to evaluate the shops regarding appropriate qualifications of the workers and the extent to which the working environments matched relevant legal documents. Results: 90.2% of the places that sold pesticides were retail, 9.2% were wholesale and retail, and 0.6% were branch offices. Of the respondents, 96.9% were male. 16.8% had graduated from primary or secondary school, 27.4% were high school graduates or equivalent, and 55.8% were university graduates. 48.5% of employees were working in accordance with the legal regulations. It was determined that 81.3% shops were located near the homes or the workplaces; 68.8% had not written ‘very poisonous plant protection products” on the shelves and compartments containing very toxic substances; 57.3% did not sell any individual protection equipment for use during application of pesticides. There was no shop that was in accord with all the legal regulations. Of the employees, 88.1% did not know the definition of maximum residual amount, 86.8% did not know waiting period after spraying, and 27.9% did not know negative health effects of pesticides. 64.3% of employees reported that they received training about the health effects of pesticides. Conclusions: The results of the study explore the need for both regulatory compliance and audit of the shops that sell pesticides and health education for employees.

Key words: Pesticide, shopping place, legal regulations, Southeastern Anatolia

Amaç: Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde (GAP) pestisit satış yerlerinin yasal düzenlemeler açısından uygunluğunu değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırmada, 2013 yılında GAP Bölgesi'ndeki 342 işyerinden 326’sına ulaşılmıştır. Satış yerlerinin yasal düzenlemelerde belirlenmiş olan kişi ve ortam özelliklerine uygunluğunu saptamak için, her işyeri ziyaret edilerek gözlem yapılmış ve soru kağıtları uygulanmıştır.  Bulgular: İşyerlerinin %90.2'si perakende, %9.2'si toptancı ve perakende, %0.6'sı bayidir. Çalışanların %96.9'u erkektir. %16.8’i ilköğretim ikinci kademe ve altı mezunu, %27.4'ü lise ve dengi, %55.8'i ise üniversite ve üzerinde eğitim almıştır. Çalışanların %48.5'i yasal düzenlemelerle tanımlanan uygun meslektendir. İşyerlerinin %81.3'ünün etrafında ev ve işyeri bulunduğu, işyerlerinin %68.8'inde çok zehirli raf ve bölmelerde ''çok zehirli bitki koruma ürünleri'' ifadesi bulunmadığı, satış yerlerinin %57.3'ünde ilaçlamada kullanılan koruyucu ekipmanların satılmadığı saptanmıştır. Araştırmada yasal düzenlemelere tam uygun satış yeri saptanmamıştır. Çalışanların %88.1'i maksimum rezidü miktarını, %86.8'i ilaçlama sonrası bekleme süresini, %27.9'u insanlarda meydana getirdiği sağlık sorunlarını bilmemektedir. Çalışanların %64.3'ü pestisitlerin insan sağlığına etkilerine ilişkin eğitim aldıklarını bildirmişlerdir. Sonuç: Araştırma bulguları, pestisit satış yerlerinin yasal düzenlemelere uygunluk açısından denetimlerinin ve satış elemanlarının sağlık eğitimlerinin yapılmasının gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
