Physician's Guide to Pesticide Health Hazards
Author: Gonzalez, Hector F.
This manual serves as a guide for the medical evaluation of pesticide poisonings. Poisonings resulting from pesticide exposures are often masked by anticholinergic effects, chronic dermatitis and anxiety. It provides a guide to recognize and manage the more common pesticide poisonings. Additionally, it should serve to increase the awareness of the possible medical and social consequences of long term chronic exposure. It also includes a brief overview of pesticide regulations.
