“…The pesticide allergic contact dermatitis is considered uncommon and perhaps remains under reported. Its reported prevalence varied between 39% and 55% in 2 large studies of farm workers from Japan and California (9, 14). The exact prevalence of pesticide dermatitis in India is not known but 36.6% of 30 farmer patients had positive pesticide positive reactions in an isolated report (6) while our 26.7% patients showed positive patch test reactions to pesticides.…”

These 30 patients (M : F 21 : 9) were between 22-81 years of age having dermatitis for 4 days to 20 years with relapses and remissions. 21 patients had seasonal exacerbation. 10 patients attributed exacerbation of dermatitis to exposure to pesticides. Positive patch test reactions from pesticides were observed in 8 patients only. Captan was the most common sensitizer (5 patients), 2 patients were sensitive to propargite. Chlorpyrifos, tree spray oil and thiuram gave positive reaction in 1 patient each. 3 controls from Group-1 showed positive reactions to multiple pesticides. Pesticide related contact dermatitis appears more common than expected.

“…Organophosphorus poisoning has been discussed by Edson (1955), Kleinman, West, andAugustine (1960), Rossiter (1960), Durham and Hayes (1962), and Hayes and Pirkle (1966). A farm worker with organophosphorus poisoning was also reported by Redhead (1968).…”

Four out of five members of a team of farmworkers who had been using various herbicides and pesticides in intensive agriculture became impotent. Sexual function recovered after further contact with the chemicals was stopped and hormone therapy had been given, though in one case this took about a year. We have not been able to incriminate one particular substance, but with the circumstantial evidence and the lack of any other obvious cause it seems likely that the impotence was due to the toxic effects of one or more of the chemicals being used.

“…Use experience has confirmed this impression, since workers applying formulations containing compounds of higher toxicity, particularly the more toxic organic phosphorus compounds, are poisoned more often than workers using less toxic materials. For example, in California in 1957, of a total of 252 cases of systemic poisoning attributed to agricultural chemicals, 189 cases (75 percent) were associated with exposure to organic phosphorus compounds (KLEINMAN et al 1960).…”

PrefaceThat residues of pesticides and other "foreign" chemicals in foodsttrlfs are of concern to everyone everywhere is attested by the reception accorded earlier volumes of "Residue Reviews", and by the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by the individuals I have asked to prepare manuscripts. Many manuscripts on residue a;ffairs are in preparation, but the field is so large and the non-polemical interests in it so varied that the editor and the Advisory Board will welcome suggestions for topics considered suitable and timely for review in this international book-series. There can be no serious question that pesticide and food-additive chemicals are essential to adequate food production, manufacture, marketing, and storage, yet without continuing surveillance and intelligent control some of those that persist could at times conceivably endanger the public health.The object of "Residue Reviews" is to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy, and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of residues of these chemicals in foods, in feeds, and in transformed food products. These reviews are either general or specific, but properly they may lie in the domains of analytical chemistry and its methodology, biochemistry, human and animal medicine, legislation, pharmacology, physiology, regulation, and toxicology; certain affairs in the realm of food technology that are concerned specifically with pesticide and other food-additive problems are also appropriate subject matter. The justification for the preparation of any review for this book-series is that it deals with some aspect of the many real problems arising from the presence of residues of foreign chemicals in foodstuffs.Material for "Residue Reviews" encompasses those matters, in any country, which are involved in allowing pesticide and other plant-protecting chemicals to be used safely in producing, storing, and shipping crops. Added plant or animal pest-control chemicals or their metabolites that may persist into meat and other edible animal products (milk and milk products, eggs, etc.) are also residues and are within this scope. The so-called food additives (suhstances deliberately added to foods for flavor, odor, appearance, etc., as weIl as those inadvertently added durin...
