Mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning, female (per 100,000 female population)

This indicator measures the annual incidence of fatalities among females resulting from unintentional poisoning, expressed per 100,000 women in the population. Unintentional poisoning encompasses a range of dangers, including exposure to everyday household substances like cleaning agents and medications, as well as toxic environmental factors such as pesticides and carbon monoxide. Vulnerable groups, particularly in low-income settings, may face heightened risks due to inadequate safety regulations and limited access to health information. Understanding this statistic is crucial for public health initiatives aimed at mitigating risks, promoting safety protocols, and implementing educational campaigns that empower women with knowledge about safe practice, ultimately contributing to healthier communities and reduced mortality rates.
