Carbamates, as structural analogs to carboxyl esters, mainly undergo CESs catalyzed degradation, whereas the most efficient detoxification route of OPs is the hydrolysis catalyzed by different PTEs. Earthworms tend to thrive most without tillage, if sufficient crop residue is left on the soil surface.

At the esteratic site the acetylcholine is cleaved, which results in a free choline moiety and an acetylated cholinesterase. This results in continuous activation of acetylcholine receptors, which leads to the acute symptoms of TEPP poisoning. [2][5] Most flame retardants used are halogenated OPEs, and the effectiveness of the flame retardant increases with the increased number of halogenated substituents. [19] In addition, permanent damage to the brain's chemical make-up, and changes in human behavior and emotioncan occur to the fetus in pregnant women.[20]. Most herbicides are nontoxic to earthworms, although some, such as 2,4-D, pendimethalin, and simazine, are toxic at high exposure rates.
