Organophosphate insecticides

Active

Description

Organophosphate pesticides are commonly used insecticides in agriculture and public health applications. Although organophosphates are beneficial for killing a broad variety of insects, human overexposure to this pesticide can cause neurological dysfunction and excess acetylcholine in both the peripheral and central nervous system. Overexposure to an organophosphate pesticide is typically caused by inhalation, dermal contact, or ingestion of contaminated foods. Once in the human body, 75% of the organophosphorous pesticide is metabolized into dialkyl phosphorous. Urinary dialkyl phosphorous metabolite levels can be monitored to determine recent exposure to organophosphate pesticides. [CDC:biomonitoring/OP-DPM_BiomonitoringSummary] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
