Abstract:
Cholinesterase inhibitors-the organophosphates and the carbamates-are the most acutely toxic and widely used insecticides. They also comprise the only group of pesticides for which state laws exit requiring worker monitoring. This chapter focuses on cholinesterase monitoring, with attention to available assays and testing kits.
