Abstract
ABSTRACT The study examines aspects of the toxicological and occupational hygiene assessment of organophosphates (OPs) related to the use of sheep dips in the UK. Scientific and agricultural literature produced in the past revealed a range of potential hazards to humans from these veterinary pesticides but health and safety standards failed to address those hazards. The results of the research raise questions about the validity of past risk assessments of OPs in the UK; indicate significant under-reporting of adverse health effects in humans associated with exposure to OPs in sheep dipping; reveal shortcomings in the approval and monitoring of veterinary medicines from an occupational health and safety perspective.
