Deliberate exposure to pesticides is one of the most common methods of suicide in LMICs (8). Fatal cases due to intentional exposure to AlP exceed 50% (9), which is comparable to other highly lethal suicide methods, such as firearms, used in high-income countries (10). In India, based on the results of an analysis of autopsy records over 25 years (from April 1977 to 2002), it was found that since 1992, AlP became the most common suicidal agent responsible for 68.4% of all deaths from poisoning (11) (12). By contrast, in high-income countries (HIC) the incidence is low, in circumstances of accidental exposure (13) (14).
