Occupational determinants of serum cholinesterase inhibition among organophosphate-exposed agricultural pesticide handlers in Washington State
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 11/04/09

Hofmann JN et al. – Despite existing regulations, agricultural pesticide handlers continue to be exposed to organophosphate (OP) and N–methyl–carbamate (CB) (OP/CB) insecticides at levels resulting in serum cholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition. These findings suggest that modifying certain work practices could potentially reduce serum cholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition. Replication from other studies will be valuable.
