| Resumen |
Dichlorvos is an organophosphate widely used as an insecticide. It is readily absorbed by mammals and readily metabolised in the liver. Topics covered in this literature review are: physical and chemical properties and analytical methods; sources of human and environmental exposure; kinetics and metabolism; effects on organisms; effects on experimental animals; effects on man; evaluation of human health risks and effects on the environment. It is concluded that exposure to dichlorvos via food and drinking water is negligible and does not constitute a health hazard. Continuous exposure of young children and diseased or elderly people in poorly ventilated rooms should be avoided. Dichlorvos and its formulations do not contribute an undue hazard to those occupationally exposed, provided adequate precautions are taken. |
