Research has shown tobacco workers may also suffer chronic exposure through contact with pesticide residues remaining on plants and in soil.[67] Though Human Rights Watch could not determine the precise toxicity of the chemicals used on tobacco farms in Zimbabwe, pesticide exposure is associated with acute health problems including nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headaches, abdominal pain, and skin and eye problems.[68] Exposure to large doses of pesticides can have severe health effects including loss of consciousness, coma, and death.[69] Long-term and chronic health effects of pesticide exposure are well documented and include respiratory problems, cancer, depression, neurologic deficits, and reproductive health problems.[70] Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of toxic exposures as their brains and bodies are still developing.[71] Many pesticides are highly toxic to the brain and reproductive health system,[72] both of which continue to grow and develop during childhood and adolescence.[73] While pesticides are applied to many crops on farms around the world, tobacco workers may be at especially high risk for pesticide exposure given the nature of tobacco farming.[74] Tobacco plants are planted very close together and grow to one to three meters in height.[75] Workers often spend extended periods of time with much of their bodies brushing up against pesticide-treated leaves
