• Description:
  Skin exposures to pesticides in agriculture are considered to be the primary route of worker exposure. However, there remains a paucity of data for quantifying such exposures. In addition, the methods used to measure exposures vary and the efficiency of each method of sampling may differ, adding to the difficulties in interpreting results. A preliminary range finding and method evaluation survey was recently performed in California in preparation for a larger study to determine exposure reduction intervention effectiveness.
