Transferable residues from dog fur and plasma cholinesterase inhibition in dogs treated with a flea control dip containing chlorpyrifos.
We studied chlorpyrifos, an insecticide present in a commercial dip for treating ectoparasites in dogs, to estimate the amount of transferable residues that children could obtain from their treated pets. Although the chlorpyrifos dip is no longer supported by the manufacturer, the methodology described herein can help determine transferable residues from other flea control insecticide formulati...
متن کاملAcute Toxicity of an Organophosphate Insecticide Chlorpyrifos to an Anuran, Rana cyanophlyctis
Background: Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide that elicits broad-spectrum insecticidal activity against a number of important arthropod pests. Determining the insecticides’ toxicity to amphibians can give us a better understanding regarding the role of toxicants in amphibian declines. This information would be beneficial to assess their ecological relevance at environmental con...
متن کاملPrenatal exposure to the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos and childhood tremor.
BACKGROUND The organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF), widely used for agricultural purposes, has been linked to neurodevelopmental deficits. Possible motor effects at low to moderate levels of exposure have not been evaluated. METHODS Prenatal exposure to CPF was measured in umbilical cord blood in a sample of 263 inner-city minority children, who were followed prospectively. At appr...
متن کاملPilot biomonitoring of adults and children following use of chlorpyrifos shampoo and flea collars on dogs.
Pesticide handlers and pet owners who use products such as shampoos and dips and insecticide-impregnated collars to treat and control fleas on companion animals are exposed to a variety of active ingredients. Chlorpyrifos exposures of adults and children were measured using urine biomonitoring following use of over-the-counter products on dogs. Age and gender-specific measurements of urinary 3,...
متن کاملExposure to chlorphenvinphos, an organophosphate insecticide, prevents from behavioral sensitization to amphetamine.
OBJECTIVES Exposure to organophosphorus (OP) pesticides, irreversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), may result in long-lasting alterations in the functional state of the central nervous system. In earlier studies, we found that a single exposure of the rat to chlorphenvinphos (CVP), an OP pesticide, made the animal hyposensitive to amphetamine (AMPH) three weeks posttreatment. A re...
