Items related to Pesticides Studied in Man
Those who made use of my "Clinical Handbook on Economic Poisons," either in its English or Spanish editions, will find in this book of far more thorough coverage of the major portion dealing with the classes of pesticides and with individual compounds. In fact, some users may suppose that this book relates to all of the handbook or to all that they found useful. However it was my experience in answering inquiries sent to the U. S. Public Health Service from the general public that the real problem of many persons was not so much a lack of information about the toxicity of a particular compound but I lack of knowledge about toxicology in general, the epidemiology of pesticide poisoning, or the medical management of cases. The extremely brief introductory portion of the handbook was entirely inadequate to fill this gap that I perceived in the knowledge of some correspondence. Each section on an individual compound consists of three portions. The first portion offers a concise summary of the nomenclature, chemistry, formulations, and uses of the compound. The second portion of each discussion is concerned with those aspects of the biochemistry and animal toxicity data that may be relevant to man. The third portion of the discussion of each compound is concerned with one or more kinds of experience with the effects of the compound in man.

By necessity, it is the kind ofo grouping the physician will find reflected in whatever information he receives from patients or their associates.an attempt was made to place closely related compounds together and to describe first those that either have contributed most to our knowledge of the group or have exemplified some special feature of toxicology that deserves emphasis. A special feature may be peculiar to one compound, and we may know why this is so. However, if the reason for peculiarity is not clear, the possibility must be considered that the same feature may be exhibited by other members of the group under suitable circumstances. Each section on an individual compound consists of three portions. The first offers a concise summary of the nomenclature, chemistry, formulations and uses of the compound.The second portion of each discussion is concerned with those aspects of the biochemistry and animal toxicity data that may be relevant to man.The third portion.is concerned with one or more kinds of experience with the effects of the compound in man." ; Contents (brief): Inorganic and organometal pesticides -- Pesticides derived from plants and other organisms -- Synergists -- Propellants, solvents and oil insecticides -- Fumigants and nematocides -- Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides -- Organic phosphorus pesticides -- Carbamate pesticides -- Nitro compounds and related phenolic pesticides -- Synthetic organic rodenticides -- Herbicides -- Fungicides and related compounds -- Miscellaneous pesticides. ; large volume ; VG.
