Título Electromyographical neuromuscular synapse testing and neurological findings in workers exposed to organophosphorous pesticides
Información bibliográfica May-June 1980, Vol.35, No.3, p.168-175. Illus. 19 ref.
Resumen 3 groups of agricultural workers consisting of a total of 195 men with moderate to intense exposure to Thimet and Avisol-DM pesticides and a control group of 26 workers with no history of pesticide exposure, were examined by electromyographical synapse testing. The neurological information recorded showed no significant difference between the pescitide-exposed and control group. The electrically evoked muscle potential series in exposed workers remained as constant as those recorded for the control group and neurological records showed no singificant deviations from normal for exposed workers. Electromyographical synapse testing and clinical neurological examination are not sensitive enough for early detection of latent pesticide intoxication.
