The toxicity of pesticides has generated an extensive amount of literature, because of their domestic and public health use, and particular because of their wide use in agriculture, which employs the largest workforce in the world. This book adds new elements and provides for wider needs in the health profession. It has a thorough review of literature on the subject and results of research held in both Eastern and Western countries, which is rare to find in one volume. The literature cited is one of the largest.
For each group of chemical compounds used as pesticides, the authors desribe all the known diagnoises and therapies; therefore, this book will be used not only by public health personnel and occupational physicians working in the primary health care systems in rural areas, but also by medical care professionals and research institutions. In several parts of the book the authors refer to the gaps in knowledge that require further research.
