Provides information on the toxicology of this diverse and ubiquitous class of insecticides. This book offers a review of the reactivity of organophosphorus compounds with cholinesterase, and their metabolism and biological effects on humans and other nontarget organisms. It covers research on differences in toxicity induced by organophosphorus.

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.
