Background: Pesticides are very harmful for human health especially for farmers who are more in contact with them. Objective: To compare Nerve Conduction Test among agricultural workers exposed to pesticide and non-agricultural workers. Method: A sample size of 83 in each group was selected. A pretested questionnaire was prepared comprising of socio-demographic profile, work practices followed by agricultural pesticide sprayers, detail clinical history & findings of Nerve Conduction Test. Result: The mean Latency in occasional pesticide sprayer was 3.12 ± 0.95 and in regular pesticide sprayer was 3.88 ± 1.08, on applying student t test the result was observed to be significant. The mean conduction velocity in occasional pesticide sprayer was 52.95 ± 11.28 and regular pesticide sprayer was 43.96 ± 12.34, on applying student t test the result was significant.  Conclusion: agricultural workers, pesticide sprayers, nerve conduction test, occupational health  Keywords: Pesticide, agriculture workers, Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test, Personal Protective Equipments (PPE).

Anesthetic and surgical procedures and an electrophysiological method were developed for recording nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of CNS fibers in the murine spinal cord. Under intravenous anesthesia and artificial ventilation the lumbar spinal cord segments L1 to L4 and dorsal roots L3 to L5 on the left side were exposed by laminectomy. After stimulation of the dorsal root L4, a compound action potential (CAP) was recorded at the ipsilateral left fasciculus gracilis at the spinal cord level L1. The latency from stimulation to the CAP together with the measured distance between the electrodes was used for the determination of the NCV. NCV of the fastest fibers in the fasciculus gracilis was observed to be approximately 28 m/s. Reversible decrease of the NCV was measured, in vivo, under general hypothermia. The technique described serves for in vivo electrophysiological investigations of spinal central fibers in wildtype and mutant mice.
