Prophylaxis of nerve agent poisoning Few chemical compounds created by man have caused greater controversy than organophosphates. Conceived as insecticides, they have also been developed to become the most feared of chemical weapons. The control of vectors of diseases from which millions die or are disabled is heavily dependent on organophosphates, as are efforts to maintain food production in the face of uncontrolled population growth, diminishing arable land and the possibility of global warming. As the toxicity of organophosphates is non-specific, it has caused ill health and death in man, and has contributed to adverse ecoloOrganophosphorus compoundsToxicologyToxicologyElectronic books.Organophosphorus compoundsToxicology.Toxicology.615.9517Karalliedde Lakshman978998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454266203321Organophosphates and health2231715UNINA
