History: Poisoning is one of the commonest mode of suicide. In India, the first case of Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning was reported in 1981 from MGM Medical College, Indore (M.P.) Since then Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning is on rise.
Objective: To assess the impact of time elapsed after ingestion of poison and reaching the hospital on mortalities in respect of age, gender and residence of the victim. Material and method: Sixty five cases of Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning of both sexes, 11 and above years of age and their residence area (rural and urban).
Observations and discussion: On analysis of the collected data, it has been revealed that 87.69 % cases were from 11 to 40 years of age group which is quite productive age group in all aspects, which is a matter of real concern as it shows that youth are very much frustrated from their life, which can be prevent by providing moral and ethical teaching during schooling. There were 43.07 % male and the remaining 56.92 % females, this is in accordance to the findings of various studies that more proportion of females fall victim of poisoning than their male counter parts.87.69 % deceased were from rural background Out of these only 07.01 % brought to hospital within one hour in comparison to their 37.5 % urban counter parts.
Conclusion and recommendations: This may be due to pathetic condition of roads, none or late availability of transport, their illiteracy and ignorance about health and disease including poisoning particularly in rural areas. This poor state of affairs may be changed by judicious use of old or traditional and new, modern or latest technologies and whenever chances arises can co-exist like never before, will be helpful in bringing awareness in the community about various aspects of health and disease including poisoning and there will be increase in the utilization of health facilities which at present under utilize. At present a vicious circle of poverty and illness and illness again will increase poverty and poverty further make the people ill and so on i.e. there is a direct relation between poor health and poverty is in existence, may be broken which is very much necessary to improve the health status of the community which automatically improve the economic status of the community.

History: Poisons are known since ancient times. References to poisons found in the oldest Egyptian, Babylonia, Hebrew, and Greek records. Atharva Veda (1500BC) also describes poisons.Objective: To assess the epidemiological profile of patients who ingested poison as per their age, gender, residence, occupation intention of ingestion of poison
Material and method: 291 cases of both sexes and 11 and above years of age group, who brought to tertiary care hospital after ingestion of poison, were taken as sample.
Variables: Age, sex, occupation, residence, intent of poisoning, Statistical analysis: expressed in terms of proportion and chi-square test.
Observations and discussion: There was higher proportion of poisoning cases in younger age group similarly higher proportion of female's ingested poison. Rural population irrespective of occupational status was at increased risk of poisoning this is due to easy availability of the compound and illiteracy and ignorance about the safe use of the compound. Commonest intent of poisoning was suicidal. Younger age people are standing on the square. It seems that there is lack of sportsmanship, hence if the condition is not going according to them, they take it their defeat and insult instead of facing the problem bravely, and take such extreme step of ingestion of poison. Regarding women, they are very sensitive by nature hence even a smallest incidence which goes against their pride they become sensible and take such extreme step.

On analysis of the data collected 4.6 % children were suffering from protein energy malnutrition, 11.5 % vitamin "A" deficiency, 13.3 % Vitamin "B" complex deficiency and 11.1 % from anaemia These various nutritional deficiency diseases are not just due to poor hygiene conditions and lack of nutritional food but also because the mother herself is suffering from anaemia and malnutrition during adolescence and child bearing age. They become trapped in an intergenerational cycle of ill health and poverty.Keywords
