Sources of exposure to and public health implications of organophosphate pesticides.
OBJECTIVE To review the public health significance of organophosphate pesticide exposure in the United States of America. Since the situation of high organophosphate pesticide exposure and the concomitant health risks in the developing countries of the world is well known, this article seeks to highlight the public health significance of organophosphate exposure in the United States, where it i...
متن کاملUse of biomarkers to indicate exposure of children to organophosphate pesticides: implications for a longitudinal study of children's environmental health.
Because of their history of widespread use in the United States and unknown long-term health effects, organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are being considered as a chemical class of interest in planning for the National Children's Study, a longitudinal study of children's environmental health. The availability and appropriate use of biomarkers to determine absorbed doses of environmental chemicals...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of Exposure to Organophosphate Pesticides: McKelvey et al. Respond

متن کاملAgricultural task and exposure to organophosphate pesticides among farmworkers.
Little is known about pesticide exposure among farmworkers, and even less is known about the exposure associated with performing specific farm tasks. Using a random sample of 213 farmworkers in 24 communities and labor camps in eastern Washington State, we examined the association between occupational task and organophosphate (OP) pesticide residues in dust and OP metabolite concentrations in u...
