TL;DR: The underlying possible mechanisms of action and their possible roles in adverse developmental and reproductive processes are discussed and where possible a linkage is made to some existing epidemiological data.

TL;DR: The emergence or re-emergence of bacterial (Mycobacterium bovis and Brucella spp) or viral infections shows that zoonoses should be considered as emerging risks in agricultural and animal breeding and should be addressed by specific preventive interventions.

TL;DR: There are sufficient data to conclude that neurobehavioural impairment might be the consequence of an acute poisoning, and possibly the consequences of relatively high and prolonged exposures to neurotoxic pesticides.

TL;DR: The source spectra of equimolar mixtures of two different thiols reacting with a stoichiometric amount of mercury(II) show the peak clusters of the three theoretically expected bis-thiolato-mercury( II) complexes with relative intensities close to the theoretically expected 1:2:1 ratio, thus pointing at lack of substantial discrimination between the differentThiols.

TL;DR: This study helps define and confirm relationships between different exposure determinants, which can be used in the development of tools for risk assessment of exposure to pesticides in small and medium sized enterprises.
