Abstract

Methyl parathion is one of the Organophosphate pesticides widely employed for crop shield against pests and also to enhance productivity of variable ranges of crops. Methyl parathion (O, O-dimethyl O-p- nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, is one such organophosphate pesticide. Extensive utilize of it has led to bioaddition in their surroundings. Therefore causing unsafe health hazards impacts like hang-up of acetylcholinesterase enzyme in neuron system concern movement, circulation, distribution. Metabolic pathway exhibited as O-methyl-o-para nitrophenyl phosphate, Dimethyl phosphoric acid along with P-nitrophenol intermediate. A direct relationship shown between infectivity of methyl parathion pesticide and their residual exposure on human, which causes the toxic impacts to humans along with high risk of contamination in environment. The present review is focused on the direct and indirect impact of methyl parathion by means of degradation through potential associated biotic system as their genotoxic, neurotoxin, carcinogenic and common health effects. Risk measured via organizations, under Food Quality Protection Act (FQPTA), for cumulative chronic hazard, distinctively food, water and residential aspects. Measures decline the exposures with protection during the application.
