Severe poisoning will affect the central nervous system, producing incoordination, slurred speech, loss of reflexes, weakness, fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, twitching, tremors of the tongue or eyelids, and eventually paralysis of the body extremities and the respiratory muscles. J Environ Chem Eng 6(6):7035–7043.

Ijsrm. It has both systemic and contact properties and has been used These kinds of pesticides are known to be neurotoxins, which affect the work of neurons in the body. Chronic ingestion studies in animals have reported depressed cholinesterase levels, depressed body weight, effects to the liver and bladder, and a slight increase in neuropathy. Based on LC 50 value, all the four pesticides were found to be highly toxic to lymphocyte culture, among them, monocrotophos and endosulfan were the most toxic and dimethoate was the least toxic.

Being readily soluble in water, it is grouped under class I: highly toxic compounds. Monocrotophos, like other organophosphate insecticides, is highly toxic by all routes of exposure. Reproductive Effects: Rats who received doses of 2 mg/kg/day monocrotophos produced fetuses with lower than average length and weight (170). Inhibition mechanisms of protein kinase B (Pkb)/Akt and its consequences on related cell signaling were investigated in human umbilical cord blood stem cells (hUCBSCs) exposed to monocrotophos (MCP, an organophosphate pesticide).

Begum K, Rajini PS. The photolytic decomposition rate of monocrotophos was increased with increasing solution pH because the solution pH affects the distribution and light absorbance of monocrotophos species. Monocrotophos had no effect on the running times in this trial. 9 There are no inhalation toxicity data on monocrotophos in humans and inhalation data in 10 animals are limited to lethality. Monocrotophos, which has been found to be in common usage in Yavatmal among other substances, has been in the news before. There is a risk of death due to respiratory failure. Early symptoms of poisoning may include excessive sweating, headache, weakness, giddiness, nausea, vomiting, hypersalivation, stomach pains, blurred vision and slurred speech. Chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure has resulted in depressed cholinesterase levels, headaches, vomiting, and nausea in humans. But somehow, it is still used for non-food products.". 11 12 Monocrotophos inhibits acetylcholinesterase (ChE) activity resulting in an excess of 13 acetylcholine at neuronal synapses and myoneural junctions.

Open field behavior was measured in rats receiving 0, 0.6, 1.2 or 1.8 mg/kg bw monocrotophos by SC injection, While several explanations have been put forth for the deaths, one common factor among these cases has been the use of harmful pesticides. Quinalphos (QNP) and monocrotophos (MCP) are the commonly used OP pesticides, known to cause toxicity to humans and various other non-target organisms [46,47]. Abstract The genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of monocrotophos, an organophosphate insecticide, was investi- gated on human lymphocytes cultured in vitro. Teratogenic Effects: No teratogenic effects were found at 2 mg monocrotophos/kg/day in rats, the highest dose tested (170).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cannot attest to the accuracy of a non-federal website. Monocrotophos uncontrolled application in farming has led to the contamination of surface and groundwater, causing neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, hyperglycaemic and stressogenic effects on different organisms. Monocrotophos, like other organophosphate insecticides, is highly toxic by all routes of exposure. The results obtained for the effect of contact time on monocrotophos removal for UV/ZnO is represented in Figure 3.3.
