    Question

    Which test should be checked weekly if old stocks of malathion are used by the person handling pesticides?

    A.

    Alanine aminotransferase

    B.

    Blood cholinesterase activity

    C.

    Alkaline phosphatase

    D.

    Aspartate aminotransferase

    Correct option is B

    Blood cholinesterase activity must be checked weekly for individuals exposed to organophosphate pesticides like malathion. Low levels indicate toxic exposure, as these pesticides inhibit cholinesterase enzymes.
    Explanation of other options:
    (a) Alanine aminotransferase: Indicates liver function, not pesticide exposure.
    (c) Alkaline phosphatase: Related to bone and liver health.
    (d) Aspartate aminotransferase: Reflects liver and heart function, not pesticide toxicity.
