The Application of Metabolic and Excretion Kinetics to Problems of Industrial Toxicology

Previous reports have been reviewed in earlier issues of the Journal (25, 157, 1968; 27, 294, 1970). The contents of the present report are similar in form and are open to the same general criticisms. By British standards pesticides are used on such a scale in California that the relevance of the report to conditions here is not obvious. A few points, however, stand out. The organophosphates were much more dangerous in terms of casualties perton used than any other compounds. Several cases of poisoning from residues of organophosphates on foliage are reported, some only developing symptoms five weeks after the spraying of the orchai d they worked in with parathion and Delnav. More details of these cases would have been interesting. In addition, there were the usual tragic cases of children dying from ingested poisons, including TEPP. The uses of organochlorine insecticides, 2,4,5-T and methylmercury, are being restricted for well-known reasons. It is curious that the report should state: 'Pesticide poisoning is an increasing hazard today', when, almost without exception, the material in the tables shows that the acute hazards are slowly but steadily declining from a peak in the early 1960s. Perhaps the Bureau of Health Education is doing a better job than it realizes.
