Abstract: One of the most common methods to prevent destruction of crops is using pesticides. Therefore, pollution of water sources by pesticides is considered as one of the environmental problems. One of the most widely used pesticides is Dursban, also known by its general name chlorpyrifos. This insecticide belongs to a group of organophosphorous insecticides with contact and digestive influences and little fumigation properties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Dursban on the laboratory mouse blood proteins. In this study, 48 female mice of Balb/C kind were tested by dividing into 6 groups. Control group and experimental groups 1-5, respectively received a dose of 0.03, 0.3, 3, 1.5 and 15 ppm of Dursban in daily drinking water for 31 days. At the end of the experiment, phlebotomies and samples were transferred to the laboratory. The obtained data was evaluated with SPSS software at probable level of p<0.05.
