CHOLINESTERASE LEVELS IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IN TRI-ORTHO-CRESYL PHOSPHATE POISONING

[A case of tri-ortho-cresyl-phosphate poisoning].

An outbreak of tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (T.O.C.P.) poisoning in Durban.

Tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (T.O.C.P.) is an organic phosphorus compound commonly used in industry as a plasticizer, and is so used in the manufacture of lacquers, dopes, synthetic fabrics, and synthetic lignin resin; it is used as a water-proofing agent in textile manufacture. It is said to be an excellent grinding medium for pigments; it is also used in making polyvinyl chloride sheeting and f...

Interim Specific Ground Water Criterion - Tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (TOCP)

Impairment of glutamate signaling in mouse central nervous system neurons in vitro by tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate at noncytotoxic concentrations.

Occupational and environmental exposure to tri-cresyl phosphates (TCPs) may cause various types of neurotoxicity. Among the TCP isomers, tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate is a well-studied organophosphate (OP) known to cause OP-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). Clinically, OPIDN is characterized by limb paralysis caused by the inhibition of neuropathy target esterase. Like other OPs, TOCP may also t...
