| Resumen |
Hazards associated with the exposure of pilots, ground crews and rescue workers to nitrophenols, carbamates, chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons, and organophosphates, used as insecticides and pesticides in agricultural spraying operations are reviewed. Cholinesterase levels should be established at the start of a season or project and monitored at intervals. Recommended lowest levels in blood and plasma are tabulated. Electromyography is recommended as a non-invasive method of monitoring operational personnel. In crash situations, rescue workers must be protected from exposure as a result of walking through recently sprayed crops and handling aircraft components contaminated with pesticide solutions. |
