Abstract
ABSTRACT A mail survey was conducted of the physicians who provide medical supervision including cholinesterase monitoring for the California agricultural pesticide mixer/loader/applicators who handle the most toxic organophosphate and n-methyl carbamate pesticides. A primary goal of the survey was to determine the feasibility of providing certification for California medical supervisors. Currently California offers neither a training program nor state certification. Over half of the respondents, 53.5%, reported that they would welcome certification with training and CME credits. The results of the survey also tended to support the premise that the medical supervision program is functioning to protect workers from overexposure to organophosphate and carbamate pesticides.
