Abstract |
A group of 12 men working daily or weekly with a mixture of pesticides (benzene hexachloride, lindane, chlordane, malathion, pyrethrum and occasionally dimpylate) were monitored as regards cholinesterase activity in blood by using 2 different methods. A rapid electrometric method was used for the determination of butyrylcholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase in small capillary blood samples, and a semi-quantitative method (Merckotest) was selected for comparison. The procedures are described, and the results presented and interpreted. |
