Abstract
Many diseases and signs of organophosphate poisoning share common symptoms with other illnesses. Misusing pesticides can lead to severe damage to both the environment and people’s health. Insects, birds and other animals are affected by the pesticide due to its effect on cholinesterase (ChE). This enzyme breaks down acetylcholine into smaller parts that accumulate in neuromuscular junctions and nerve terminals. In cholinergic toxicity, signs appear such as nicotine-like effects and muscarinic side effects in the nervous system. In accordance with this study, an apparatus for measuring ChE-activity in birds’ blood and tissues is presented. Literature regarding proper ChE-activity in both wild and hybrid birds was found by consulting the Mosul city library. Additionally, the electrometric method proved accurate and effective. This makes it a good method for exposing potentially exposed birds in the natural world while also creating a biological control to reduce environmental pollution by carbamates or organophosphates.
