Title: [Toxicological risks from industrial pesticides. Preliminary results of a study]. Author: Perrelli G, Druetta F, Capellaro E. Journal: Minerva Med; 1981 Sep 26; 72(36):2395-402. PubMed ID: 7279260. Abstract: An examination of various commercially available pesticides was made in an evaluation of the potential risks presented by phytopharmaceuticals. It was found that insecticides anticryptogamic products, and weed-killers are most commonly used. Insecticides mainly contain organophosphoric compounds, followed by organochlorates, carbamates, and organic sulphur compounds. Anticryptogamic products are primarily composed of dithiocarbamates, followed by inorganic copper and sulphur compounds. Herbicides are mostly represented by the triazines, followed by phenoxycarboxylic acid derivatives, carbamates, and urea derivatives. Lastly, most pesticides fall into the IIIrd and IVth toxicological classes.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
