Farmers exposed to pesticides. It can cause pollution and residues. Pesticides contain Plumbum (Pb). Pb effect the hematopoietic, digestive, urinary, kidney, central nervous, reproductive, cardiac endocrine systems. The purpose was determine relationship between types of pesticides based on active compounds used levels in farmers blood Bangka district. This research is analytic observational wi...

The aphid, Myzus persicae is an important sucking pest and a virus vector in many crops. management of M. mainly through synthetic pesticides. development resistance against common pesticides has resulted control failures persicae. objective this study was to examine the status pesticide genetic structure populations. Samples were collected from cabbage cultivations dry (Anuradhapura), wet (Kan...

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides contribute to a substantial burden of mortality and morbidity from selfpoisoning, particularly in developing countries. Such poisonings are associated with several syndromes, including acute cholinergic crises, the intermediate syndrome (IMS), and organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy. In a study published in PLoS Medicine, Jayawardane and colleagues begin t...

Chlorpyrifos belongs to an organophosphate pesticides group that is frequently used increase the yield of crops by controlling plant and pests-related diseases. contaminates environment cause diseases human population. Molecularly imprinting technology lead development molecularly imprinted polymers having templated oriented cavities with high selectivity, sensitivity, stability, portability. O...

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a key enzyme in the nervous system. It terminates nerve impulses by catalysing the hydrolysis of neurotransmitter acetylcholine. As a specific molecular target of organophosphate and carbamate pesticides, acetylcholinesterase activity and its inhibition has been early recognized to be a human biological marker of pesticide poisoning. Measurement of AChE inhibition...

Background: In rural areas of developing countries, children of agricultural workers have a high potential for exposure to organophosphorus (OP) pesticides. This puts them at an increased risk of damage to neurobehavioural performance, cognitive and psychomotor dysfunction. The main objective of this study was to assess the neurological risk of exposure to organophosphate pesticides in the chil...

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, characterized the environments of young children (<6 years) by measuring lead, allergens, and pesticides in a randomly selected nationally representative sample of licensed institutional child care centers. Multi-stage sampling wit...

Many organophosphate pesticides (OPs) such as dimethoate are used to eradicate household pests, and those occurring in agriculture and forestry sectors. Combinations of two or more different insecticides have been manufactured to increase their effectiveness. A case of death is presented as suspected organophosphates intoxication. Autopsy was unremarkable except for grayish fluid in the stomach...

Concentrations of organophosphate pesticides, including chlorpyrifos and methyl parathion, were measured in ambient air breathed by farmers in Tambon Bang Rieng, Thailand. An exposure assessment and comparison was made between the levels of pesticide exposure of traditional and integrated pest management (IPM) farmers. Thirty-three air samples were collected during pesticide spraying. Tradition...

Our understanding of the health risks of farmworkers exposed to pesticides in their work and home environments is rapidly increasing, although studies designed to examine the possible neurobehavioral effects of low-level chronic pesticide exposure are limited. We measured dialkyl phosphate urinary metabolite levels, collected environmental dust samples from a subset of homes, obtained informati...
