Developing animals are more sensitive than adults to acute cholinergic toxicity from anticholinesterases, including organophosphorus pesticides, when administered in a laboratory setting. It is also possible that these agents adversely affect the process of neural development itself, leading to permanent deficits in the architecture of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recent observat...

A method for simultaneous determination of residues of six organophosphorus pesticides in animal liver samples has been developed and validated. The method is based on the extraction of organophosphorus pesticides with a mixture of acetone-petroleum ether, clean up on a gel permeation chromatography, further clean up on a small silica gel column, and finally determination by gas chromatography ...

Organochlorin and organophosphorus pesticides are broadly applied in agriculture, primarily to boost crop yields protect crops from pests reach the needs of a growing global population. This review aims assess levels pesticide residues grains, fruits, vegetables already established secondary data different authors or journals. The obtained adequately confirmed presence concentrations vegetables...

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...

A reliable and sensitive headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of different organophosphorus pesticides in dried medicinal plant samples is described. The analytes were extracted by single-walled carbon nanotubes as a new solid-phase microextraction adsorbent. The developed method showed good performance. For diazinon an...
