ABSTRACT

The determination of inhibitors of cholinesterase activity is currently one of the most effective methods to measure the level of occupational exposure to pesticides in fumigants at the international level. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the level of exposure of the integral operators in surveillance and vector control to the pesticide inhibitors of the ECA that they use during the fumigation. The results of the determinations carried out show that 15.8% of the whole surveillance and vector control workers showed a significant decrease in ECA, regardless of having previously been trained in the activity to be performed and provided with adequate means of individual protection. In addition, the high relative dispersion of ECA values among workers in some of the municipal health areas is indicative of significant differences in the quality and depth of training provided to them. Irrespective of the fact that the method of analysis used in the study made it possible to obtain acceptable knowledge and control of the exposure of the whole vector control and control workers to cholinesterase inhibitor pesticides, it is recognized that the determination of acetyl cholinesterase activity in Erythrocytes is a feasible, internationally recognized procedure by simply searching for levels of occupational exposure in pesticides.
