The organophosphates and carbonates have important beneficial uses in agriculture, therapeutic medicine, and as insecticides in domestic and public health applications. However, because of their wide usage, potential for misuse, and often high biological activity, the likelihood of adverse effects developing by accident or intent (as in their use in chemical warfare operations) is high, as is the potential for environmental contamination, with severe ecological consequences. This reference presents a review of the experimental, occupational, environmental, and clinical toxicology of the organophosphates and carbonates by a number of international experts in the field and should prove invaluable to biochemists, pharmacologists, general physicians, general and clinical toxicologists, emergency room and occupational health physicians, poison control centers, pesticide scientists, industrial hygienists, forensic toxicologists and pathologists, and environmental specialists, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in fields with a toxicological facet.
