Urinary Metabolites of Organophosphate and Pyrethroid Pesticides and Behavioral Problems in Canadian Children
BACKGROUND Exposure to organophosphate pesticides has been associated with neurobehavioral deficits in children, although data on low levels of exposure experienced by the general population are sparse. Pyrethroids are insecticides rapidly gaining popularity, and epidemiological evidence on their potential effects is lacking. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between exposure to organopho...
متن کاملPopulation-Based Biomonitoring of Exposure to Organophosphate and Pyrethroid Pesticides in New York City
BACKGROUND Organophosphates and pyrethroids are the most common classes of insecticides used in the United States. Widespread use of these compounds to control building infestations in New York City (NYC) may have caused higher exposure than in less-urban settings. OBJECTIVES The objectives of our study were to estimate pesticide exposure reference values for NYC and identify demographic and ...
متن کاملMyopia and Exposure to Organophosphate and Pyrethroid Pesticides in the General United States Population.

متن کاملDegradation of Lindane by Sludge Enriched on Mixed Commercial Formulations of Organophosphate and Pyrethroid Pesticides
Among all classes of synthetic pesticides, organochlorines have found indiscriminate applications in the last century. DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) were the major OCP (organochlorine pesticides) used by many developed and developing countries. Lindane (HCH) and DDT were detected in the water, sediments and biota of certain provinces in China even after ...
متن کاملPyrethroid and organophosphate resistance in Ae. aegypti
In the Caribbean, insecticide resistance is widely developed in Aedes aegypti and represents a serious obstacle for dengue vector control. The efficacy of pyrethroid and organophosphate ultra-low volume space sprays was investigated in Martinique where Ae. aegypti has been shown to be resistant to conventional insecticides. In the laboratory, a wild-field caught population showed high levels of...
