India's pesticide consumption ranks it third in Asia and 12th globally, behind China and Turkey. For the current study, information on different types of pesticides, usage trends, and precise pesticide consumption in India and globally was collected, organised, and summarised. The 1960s brought pesticides to India, where they remain a staple of the nation's agriculture and are still widely used. The Indian economy is primarily driven by the agriculture sector, which employs almost 70% of the labour force. Nevertheless, in India, the majority of pesticides used are insecticides. Less than 1% of all pesticides are used worldwide, including in India. Apart from posing a threat to the environment, an over reliance on pesticides has also been connected to the presence of organophosphate residues in tea, sugars, fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products throughout India. The residues found in human and animal tissues, blood, milk, honey, and other physiological fluids are evidence of their excessive use and bioaccumulation potential. The current study highlights the numerous occasions in which different organophosphates have been discovered to be over their corresponding MRL limits. Because some of the discovered organophosphates are so harmful, the WHO has categorised them into hazardous categories 1a and 1b. Their intentional or unintentional intake causes serious health impacts and hundreds of deaths per year. Most of the poisoning cases that are displayed here were caused by substances consumed during suicidal attempts. This illustrates how easily these harmful medications might be located on the market.
