| Abstract | Three squirrel monkeys did not respond to visual stimuli for at least one hour following combined administration of mevinphos (Phosdrin) and atropine. Therefore, aerial applicator personnel being treated for mevinphos (Phosdrin) poisoning with atropine may show potentially hazardous dysfunctions of visual perception. Some mechanisms for this effect were discussed. |
