Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the secondary toxicity and hazard assessment of pesticides, particularly organophosphorus compounds (OPs) and carbamates. The author opens by reviewing the history of the discovery and development of these synthetic pesticides, highlighting their significant role in agricultural pest control. He then explores the biochemical mode of action and the mechanisms of OP toxicity on wildlife species, focusing on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a critical enzyme in nerve function. The book summarizes the various factors affecting OP toxicity, including metabolism, storage, excretion, target nature, and interaction factors. Detailed clinical signs of OP and carbamate poisoning are presented, along with descriptions of side effects and cumulative impacts. The author emphasizes the potential for secondary toxicity through the consumption of poisoned prey or carcasses, particularly for raptors and other predators. He also highlights the significance of proper pesticide application and carcass disposal in mitigating these risks. The book underscores the importance of understanding the secondary toxicity of pesticides to safeguard wildlife populations and ecosystems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
