One of the occupational hazards is exposure to organophosphorous pesticides in agriculture. With 8.5% of all occupational poisonings in Poland organophosphate poisonings hold one of the topmost positions. Organophosphorous chemicals induce inhibition of AChE activity thus leading to nervous system impairment. Chronic exposure does not bring about acute poisoning, however it produces various disorders within the system. Only a few studies on chronic exposure consider psychological dysfunctions as a possible effect. The parameters examined most frequently include short-term memory, learning, eye-hand coordination, reaction time in simple and complex reactions. The findings reveal impairments of these functions due to chronic exposure to organophosphates. However, in view of the limited samples of test groups the conclusions can only be tentative.
职业危害之一是农业领域接触有机磷农药。在波兰所有职业中毒事件中，有机磷中毒占8.5%，位居前列。有机磷化学物质会抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）的活性，从而导致神经系统损伤。长期接触不会引发急性中毒，但会在体内产生各种紊乱。关于长期接触的研究中，仅有少数研究将心理功能障碍视为一种可能的影响。最常检测的参数包括短期记忆、学习能力、手眼协调能力以及简单和复杂反应中的反应时间。研究结果显示，长期接触有机磷会导致这些功能受损。然而，鉴于测试组样本有限，这些结论只能是初步的。
