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.
