Acute non-occupational chemical poisoning is a current public health problem in the Republic of Moldova, affecting both children and adults. The global increase in the use of chemical substances and mixtures raises the risk of chemical poisoning, which ranks fourth among the causes of injury in children, after road traffic injuries, burns, and drowning. It also generates a significant economic burden, and its quantification contributes to making informed decisions regarding the efficient allocation of resources.
