Description

This book addresses the consequences of high agricultural pesticide use over the last few decades in the form of organophosphate poisoning.

The authors provide a background overview of organophosphate compounds, their environmental toxicity, non-target exposures and cases of human poisoning.

The authors also compile and analyze data from the last two decades to demonstrate the toxicological aspects of organophosphates, and how they can pose a threat to human health.

Readers will learn about the clinical manifestation of organophosphate exposure in humans, as well as the enzymatic pathways and mechanisms by which organophosphates are processed in the body and cause harm.

The book concludes by providing techniques, practices and recommendations for how to manage organophosphate exposure and poisoning.

It will be useful for clinicians and public health professionals, scientists, medical practitioners, researchers and environmental toxicologists.
