BChE(Butryl cholinesterase) as Biomarker of Occupational Exposure among female cotton workers.

Pesticides commonly sprayed on  cottoncrops,during cotton picking season inhibits BChE activity.  In this study, butyrylcholinesterase level in serum samples of 50 cotton  picker females were compared to 50 controls using the T-test. Significant decrease in serum BChE level was found allegorized to non- exposed females of same areas. Serum butyrylcholinesterase activity in exposed females was (6194.80 U/L) as compared to non-exposed females (7209.77U/L). Our studies confirm and extend the association between reduced BChE  activity and pesticides exposure. So, BChE activity could be used as an assessment tool for pesticides poisoning among exposed workers
