  • Healthcare Resource
    Health Care Resource: Links between Pesticide Exposures and Mental Health Prepared by the Mental Health and Environment Working Group of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment www.healthandenvironment.org Mental Health Effects from Pesticide Exposure Exposure to pesticides can have behavioral and psychiatric consequences. The purpose of this resource is to help mental health clinicians and health care providers become aware of the association between pesticide exposure and these consequences and to provide links to relevant research findings. Many people are at risk of pesticide exposure, including those who: • work in agriculture, landscaping or other settings (such as grocery stores, schools, daycares and office buildings) in which pest problems are treated with chemicals; • live downwind from where aerial spraying of pesticides is done; • live in communities where spray and runoff can contaminate both surface and ground water; or • live in urban dwellings where pest control is used. Outside use may take months for the pesticide to degrade to half-life or roughly half potency. Indoors there are no degrading elements such as sunshine, soil or rain to degrade potency; these undegraded pesticides can be re-suspended into the air in dust particles. Health care providers should consider the possibility that the symptoms associated with mental health disorders, such as irritability, depression or anxiety, may be the result of acute or chronic pesticide exposure. No matter what the presenting ailment may be, clinicians who care for individuals either at risk of pesticide exposure or those with known exposure are encouraged to inquire about the presence of depression, anxiety, or any of the other symptoms listed below.

  • Organophosphate and Carbamate Pesticides
    ORGANOPHOSPHATE AND CARBAMATE PESTICIDES What are ORGANOPHOSPHATE and CARBAMATE PESTICIDES? Organophosphates are phosphoric acid esters or thiophosphoric acid esters. When developed in the 1930s and 1940s, their original compounds were highly toxic to mammals. Organophosphates manufactured since then are less toxic to mammals but toxic to target organisms, such as insects. Malathion, dibrom, chlorpyrifos, temephos, diazinon and terbufos are organophosphates. Carbamates are esters of N-methyl carbamic acid. Aldicarb, carbaryl, propoxur, oxamyl and terbucarb are carbamates. Although these pesticides differ chemically, they act similarly. When applied to crops or directly to the soil as systemic insecticides, organophosphates and carbamates generally persist from only a few hours to several months. However, they have been fatal to large numbers of birds on turf and in agriculture, and negatively impacted breeding success in birds. Many organophosphates are highly toxic to aquatic organisms. How can people be exposed to organophosphate and carbamate pesticides? People can be exposed to organophosphates and carbamates pesticides through accidental exposure during use. People can accidentally inhale the pesticides if they are in an area where they were recently applied. The chemicals can be ingested with food or drinks that are contaminated. How can these pesticides exhaust affect my health? Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme found in the nervous system, red blood cells and blood plasma. These pesticides damage nerve function by acting as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the nervous system. Breathing - Short-term exposure can produce muscle twitching, headache, nausea, dizziness, loss of memory, weakness, tremor, diarrhea, sweating, salivation, tearing, constriction of pupils, and slowed heartbeat. Long-term exposure can produce delayed neurotoxicity, such as tingling and burning in the extremities.

  • PK of Medcm Against Nerve Agents, Which Have Been Integrated with PK and PD Data for the Nerve Agents Sarin and VX
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF MEDICINE Institute of Developmental Sciences The Pharmacokinetics of Medical Countermeasures Against Nerve Agents by Stuart Jon Armstrong Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2014 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF MEDICINE Institute of Developmental Sciences Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST NERVE AGENTS Stuart Jon Armstrong Nerve agents are organophosphorus compounds that irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase, causing accumulation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and this excess leads to an overstimulation of acetylcholine receptors. Inhalation exposure to nerve agent can be lethal in minutes and conversely, skin exposure may be lethal over longer durations. Medical Countermeasures (MedCM) are fielded in response to the threat posed by nerve agents. MedCM with improved efficacy are being developed but the efficacy of these cannot be tested in humans, so their effectiveness is proven in animals. It is UK Government policy that all MedCM are licensed for human use. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the efficacy of MedCM against nerve agent exposure by different routes could be better understood and rationalised through knowledge of the MedCM pharmacokinetics (PK). The PK of MedCM was determined in naïve and nerve agent poisoned guinea pigs. PK interactions between individual MedCM drugs when administered in combination were also investigated. In silico simulations to predict the concentration-time profiles of different administration regimens of the MedCM were completed using the PK parameters determined in vivo. These simulations were used to design subsequent in vivo PK studies and to explain or predict the efficacy or lack thereof for the MedCM.
