[The use of pesticides indoors with special reference to pyrethrins. Description of problems and attempts at solution from the viewpoint of ecological health protection].

One of the primary concerns of ecological health protection is to take of preventive health measures via the assessment of indoor toxic levels and the implementation of regulations governing the use of such toxics. Underlying this concern is the premise that the use of toxics should be minimised to the greatest possible extent. The use of pesticides indoors, which is often carried out without adequate expert knowledge and in excessive quantities, is a problem that affects all aspects of life but has thus far been addressed only insufficiently. Two recent incidents in Berlin involving the use of pesticides urgently point to the need of increasing our understanding of this complex subject. The incidents in Berlin involved the incorrect utilization of pesticides--mainly pyrethroids--in schools, leading to illness among pupils and school staff. After a short description of the problem of the use of pesticides indoors, potential means of solving this problem are discussed. In addition, individual recommendations regarding the use of specific pesticides are discussed with the aim of minimising the health risks associated with their application.

[Neurotoxicity of pyrethrins in warm-blooded animals].

The synthetic pyrethroids, a new class of insecticides, have excellent insecticide properties with good biodegradability, therefore a low remanence. Their mammalian toxicity is low in considering amounts used in agriculture. On the other hand, experimental animals exposed to mean so high concentrations of pyrethroids display neurological symptoms. This paper is a review relating the electrophysiological, biochemical and pharmacological aspect of the patent neurotoxicity of pyrethroids. Benign cases human intoxication and acute animal intoxication are reported.
