Clinical InformationClinical
Captan
one of the phthalimide fungicides.Cycloheximide
antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of streptomyces griseus. it acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis.Dicamba
a chlorinated organic herbicide.Diuron
a pre-emergent herbicide.Glyphosate
active compound in herbicidal formulations that inhibits 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase.Paraquat
a poisonous dipyridilium compound used as contact herbicide. contact with concentrated solutions causes irritation of the skin, cracking and shedding of the nails, and delayed healing of cuts and wounds.Propanil
a chlorinated anilide that is used as an herbicide.Simazine
a triazine herbicide.Thiram
a dithiocarbamate chemical, used commercially in the rubber processing industry and as a fungicide. in vivo studies indicate that it inactivates the enzyme glutathione reductase. it has mutagenic activity and may induce chromosomal aberrations.

Patient EducationClinical
Pesticides
Pests live where they are not wanted or cause harm to crops, people, or animals. Pesticides can help get rid of them. Pesticides are not just insect killers. They also include chemicals to control weeds, rodents, mildew, germs, and more. Many household products contain pesticides.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
