EXPOSURE OF GREENHOUSE WORKERS TO PESTICIDES

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Greenhouse workers constitute a particularly interesting group, as their exposure to pesticides is not only greater in comparison to outdoor agricultural workers, but also occurs continuously throughout the whole year. In the present paper the dermal and inhalation exposure of greenhouse workers after pesticides application was evaluated based on ...

Pesticide exposure and risk of Parkinson's disease: Dose‐response meta‐analysis of observational studies

Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP, 2018
The cause of late onset Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unknown. Evidence suggested that lifelong exposure to pesticides might contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, but the results were controversial.

Organophosphate pesticide exposure and neurodegeneration

Cortex, 2016
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are used extensively throughout the world. The main sources of contamination for humans are dietary ingestion and occupational exposures. The major concerns related to OP exposure are delayed effects following high level exposures as well as the impact of low level exposures during the lifespan which are suggested to be

Assessing Human Exposures to Pesticides

1992
Pesticide use is inevitably associated with chemical exposures that range from inferred nondetectable levels to easily measurable ones using sensitive, readily available analytical tools. Whether these exposures are of any biological significance is determined by duration, dose, and biological reactivity.

Effects of occupational pesticide exposure on children applying pesticides

NeuroToxicology, 2008
Nearly 40% of the Egyptian workforce is employed in agriculture. The cotton industry relies on children and adolescents, who work seasonally, to apply pesticides to the cotton crops. Although previous research has examined adult pesticide exposures in this workforce in Egypt, no research has examined the health effects in adolescents.

Estimation of long‐term exposure to pesticides

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1994
AbstractQuantifying the exposure of agricultural workers to pesticides is difficult in the face of the heterogeneity of the pesticides used, the variability in methods of application, and the lack of adequate exposure data. This report describes an attempt to estimate long‐term dermal and inhalation exposure of bulb farmers by the development of an ...

Pesticide exposure—Indian scene

Toxicology, 2004
Use of pesticides in India began in 1948 when DDT was imported for malaria control and BHC for locust control. India started pesticide production with manufacturing plant for DDT and benzene hexachloride (BHC) (HCH) in the year 1952. In 1958, India was producing over 5000 metric tonnes of pesticides.

Pesticide exposure—Egyptian scene

Toxicology, 2004
Pesticides have contributed to dramatic increases in crop yields and in the quantity and variety of the diet. Also, they have helped to limit the spread of certain diseases. But pesticides have harmful effects; they can cause injury to human health as well as to the environment.

Neurotoxic concerns of human pesticide exposure

Journal of Safety Research, 1990
AbstractWhile the human effects of acute pesticide poisoning are well known, significant data gaps exist with regard to what is known about some of the chronic effects, particularly neurotoxic and behavioral aspects of organophosphate exposures. The extent of this concern is particularly high in Europe where these issues are being addressed by the ...
