Abstract	There are hundred thousands of deaths per annum from poisoning in the World. Accidental poisoning is most common in children and over 50 years old persons, but deliberate self-harm becomes predominant in teenage years and early adulthood. Understanding the patterns of poisoning can assist in developing suicide prevention strategies and reducing the risks of accidental poisoning. On the other hand, this could be helpful in reducing the accidental and occupational poisoning cases. In some circumstances, many of these materials can potentially induce poisoning. In excessive amounts, chemicals that are usually harmless, even apparently safe drugs can cause poisoning. To reduce the morbidity and mortality and overall burden of poisoning in the community, consideration should be given to developing education program as an effective tool and establishing poison information centers.	en
