Organophosphate Diesters in Urban River Sediment from South China: Call for More Research on Their Occurrence and Fate in Field Environment

, 2021
Despite numerous studies on the distributions of organophosphate triesters (tri-OPEs) in various environmental compartments, few have investigated organophosphate diesters (di-OPEs) in natural envi...

Organophosphate Poisoning

Seminars in Neurology, 2004
Organophosphates are commonly used as pesticides around the world. Exposures to organophosphates cause a significant number of poisonings and deaths each year. Organophosphates bind and inhibit cholinesterase enzymes. Acute toxicity manifests as a cholinergic crisis with excessive glandular secretions, altered mental status, and weakness.

Beyond Traditional Organophosphate Triesters: Prevalence of Emerging Organophosphate Triesters and Organophosphate Diesters in Indoor Dust from a Mega E-waste Recycling Industrial Park in South China.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Numerous studies have reported the environmental contamination of traditional organophosphate triesters (tri-OPEs), but there is very little information on emerging tri-OPEs and organophosphate diesters (di-OPEs), especially in e-waste recycling area. In

Toxicity, monitoring and biodegradation of organophosphate pesticides: A review

Critical reviews in environmental science and technology, 2019
Organophosphates are one of the major constituent of herbicides, pesticides, insecticides and nerve gas. Azinophos-methyl, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, fonofos and disulfoton are well-known organophosphate pesticides (OPs) having extensive applications in ...

The Oximes and Organophosphate Poisoning [PDF]

open access: possibleArchives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1962
Since the insects began fighting back in 1947,1the war against them has demanded an increasingly diversified armamentarium, and the organic phosphate insecticides have played an important part in the battle. Unfortunately, this group of compounds, an outgrowth of wartime investigation of the chemically related nerve gases, are poisonous to man as well ...

Organophosphate poisoning

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987
Organophosphate insecticides have become increasingly popular for agricultural, industrial, and home use and represent a significant potential health risk. We have reviewed the history, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, therapy, and complications of toxic exposure to organophosphates. Promp recognition

The Organophosphate Pesticides [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine, 1995
This article provides a brief historical background to the development of organophosphate (OP) pesticides, and details their chemical structures, synthesis and reactivity. Their toxic effect, through the blocking of acetylcholinesterase, is described, and symptoms of acute and chronic intoxication in humans are outlined.

Occurrence and Distribution of Organophosphate Flame Retardants/Plasticizers in Surface Waters, Tap Water, and Rainwater: Implications for Human Exposure.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2018
The occurrence and profiles of 14 triester organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and plasticizers were investigated in surface water, tap water, rainwater, and seawater collected from New York State.

Organophosphate polyneuropathy in chicks

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1993
Young animals are resistant to organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDP), although biochemical changes on Neuropathy Target Esterase (NTE) caused by neuropathic organophosphorus esters (OP) are similar to those observed in the sensitive hen. We report here that the resistance of chicks to single doses of neuropathic OPs is not absolute because

Pharmacology of organophosphates

Journal of Applied Toxicology, 1994
AbstractThe cholinergic nerve fibers, which employ acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurohumoral transmitter, and the results of their activation are listed. The reactions between the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), its natural substrate, ACh, and the various types of inhibitors are described.
