| Resumen |
Electroretinograms (ERG) were measured for 8 pest control operators to assess the effect of exposure to organophosphorus insecticides on ophthalmic function. One operator spraying chlorpyrifos 10 times per week showed marked decreases in plasma and erythrocyte cholinesterase (ChE) activity, the most subjective symptoms and an abnormal ERG with marked decreases in amplitudes of all the waves. Four operators spraying fenitrothion and dichlorvos 3-5 times per week showed low plasma and/or erythrocyte ChE activities. Among these operators, 2 showed ERG changes including decreased amplitudes of some waves, and 1 of them showed some subjective symptoms. Alkylphosphates were detected in the urine of all the operators. The abnormal ERG observed in the chlorpyrifos-sprayer may have been caused by exposure to this organophosphorus pesticide. |
