Kurzbeschreibung
The use of pesticides is unavoidable. Insidious pests destroy our food and serve as vehicles to spread disease. Pesticides, however, do not come without risks. This authoritative reference is the first comprehensive reference on the neurotoxicity, metabolism, and epidemiology of pesticides. It offers valuable reference for pesticide researchers with details on the molecular structure and function of enzymes, and neuropathy target esterases. Addressing a global concern, Anticholinesterase Pesticides compiles important epidemiological data to uncover the startling effects pesticide poisoning.
