Título Organophosphate poisoning from wearing a laundered uniform previously contaminated with parathion
Información bibliográfica 1 Dec. 1989, Vol.262, No.21, p.3035-3036. 16 ref.
Resumen The occurrence of 3 cases of organophosphate poisoning within a 2-week period in a pesticide-formulating plant was traced to the persistence of a high concentration of parathion in a single pair of contaminated coveralls, despite repeated washings. Significantly large amounts of parathion were absorbed through the skin from the soiled clothing. Recommendations are given for the proper handling of contaminated clothing, effective methods of cleansing the skin and treatment of organophosphate poisoning.
