abstract="Human exposure to organophosphorus (OP) pesticides is a serious health challenge. We conducted a systematic review by searching international and national databases for published literature on any human exposure to OPs in Iran from 1990 to March, 2015. Qualified papers were in two categories including studies in which bio-markers of exposure were assessed (n = 13; total no. of subject = 759) and studies which had reported prevalence of OPs-induced poisoning (OPP) and mortality (n = 26; total no. of subject = 5428). The mean level of activity of acetyl-cholinesterase and butyryl-cholinesterase were 68.65% and 74.2%, respectively. Overall proportion (%) of OPP was estimated (16; 95% CI, 14 to 19).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
