CHOLINESTERASE MONITORING
Cholinesterase is an enzyme produced in the body that helps to regulate the nervous system by removing acetylcholine (a chemical that transmits nerve impulses between nerve cells and your muscles, glands, and organs). A number of pesticides commonly used in the Yakima Valley contain cholinesterase-inhibitors, which exposes the workers handling these products to overexposure.
