The dataset contains the results of a cross-sectional analysis conducted in Telangana, India, to investigate the effects of pesticide exposure in agricultural regions. It includes 341 exposed individuals and 152 controls in three districts including 15 farming villages. Blood and urine samples were analysed to determine various pesticide concentrations, including six dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites, including dimethyl phosphate (DMP), diethyl phosphate (DEP), dimethyl thiophosphate (DMTP), dimethyldithiophosphate (DMDTP), diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP), as well as the enzyme activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were measured using advanced analytical methods. The data provide information on pesticide profiles, exposure biomarkers and the relationship between exposure duration and AChE activity. These results emphasise the importance of addressing pesticide-related health problems and argue for proactive measures to mitigate the harmful effects of pesticide exposure in agriculture.
