Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hello! I am interested in finding more informatiom about cholinesterase testing for monitoring organophosphate exposures.I am specially interested in studying cholinesterase levels in farm workers ( India)who have been severely poisoned and hospitalized due to over-exposure in the last 4-5 years.These farm workers still continue to use OPs every season and are repeatedly exposed. The other group i am interested in studying are farm workers ( India) who have chronic exposures to OPs every season but have never been poisoned severely poisoned to be hospitalized. I am searching for some literature that addresses the effect of anticholiesterase pesticides on the red blood cholinesterase levels of farmworkers in these two groups. Thank you!!!! Preethi Rao Ph.
