The large majority—about 70%—are suffering from major depression at the time of the act (Ezzell, 2003). 

Insights in the renal handling of 2,4-dichloroph-enoxyacetic acid have contributed to a better knowledge of the extent of occupational exposure to this widely used herbicide [107-111]. Recently, Kancir et al. [112] reported on a case of oliguric acute renal failure complicated by profound and recurrent hypocalcemia, severe hyperphosphatemia, and inappropriately high urinary sodium concentrations following exposure to this compound. In the studies of Manninen et al. [Ill] the peak herbicide concentration which was noted during the first 12 hours post exposure turned out...
