Abstract
One of the research programs of the Department of Public Health at the University Medical School in Szeged involves the comprehensive investigation of the mechanisms of biological action and the toxicoloty of plant-protecting insecticides of various types. It was of common interest to the two research groups to clarify the enzymological studies on paraquat (PQ).
