Abstract

The paper deals with the effects of insecticides, cholinesterase inhibitors, on certain neurophysiological, psychomotor, and psychological parameters in occupationally exposed workers. The parameters measured were: the activities of erythrocyte cholinesterase, the bioelectrical activity of the cerebrum core, reaction times, visual discrimination, visual identification and the emotion index profile. The results were compared to the results from control groups, and the differences were analysed by Student's test. The linear correlation of certain parameters was also examined. Possible mechanisms responsible for the changes in parameters are discussed.
