This volume pulls together a wealth of up-to-date information on
the toxicology of this diverse and ubiquitous class of
insecticides. Leading experts review the reactivity of
organophosphorus compounds with cholinesterase, as well as their
metabolism and biological effects on humans and other nontarget
organisms. The book not only covers the anticholinesterase actions
of organophosphates, but also other, presumably independent,
effects, such as teratogenicity, delayed neuropathy,
immunotoxicity, and behavioral toxicity.
Key Features
* Offers crucial overviews of chemical and biochemical reactivity
and biological responsiveness of mainly nontarget organisms
* Reviews new developments in assessment of metabolism and
disposition of organophosphorus compounds
* Examines organophosphorus compound-induced toxicity mediated by
mechanisms other than
inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
* Covers new research on differences in toxicity induced by the
variety of organophosphorus
* Analyzes current controversies on the relevance of certain
biochemical parameters in actual organophosphate toxicity "in vivo"
