Toxicological profile for malathion

Pharmacology, toxicology and degradation of endosulfan A review.

Effects of single and repeated administration of endosulfan on behaviour and its interaction with centrally acting drugs in experimental animals: a mini review.

Values for potential dermal and respiratory exposure, and for total exposure in terms of fraction of toxic dose were determined for 11 different pesticides during orchard spraying with air-blast application equipment. Highest total exposure was calculated to be only 1.12% of a toxic dose per hour for workers applying the organophosphorus compound, carbophenothion, the most toxic compound in the study. There was considerable variation in exposure to a specific pesticide depending on certain factors, mainly wind. Potential dermal exposure to each compound was much greater than potential respiratory exposure. Workers were subjected to relatively small fractions of a toxic dose each day as they applied the compounds that were studied.
