Abstract
The Organophosphate compounds are the main weapons against insect and of importance in agriculture, public hygiene and medicine. Since organophosphates are widely used and they are known to pose risks of acute and chronic toxicity to both humans and wildlife, it is important to monitor exposure to them. So, an attempt is made to study the effects of serum electrolytes in accidental heavy dose Organophosphates toxicity in humans and correlation of acetyl cholinesterase with severity of the patients.
Keywords
