| Abstract |
Exposure of workers applying paraquat to fields of tomatoes and citrus, and diquat to waterways containing water hyacinths and hydrilla, was monitored with dermal alpha cellulose pads attached at each of ten body locations and with personal air monitors. Estimated total body exposure for tomato applicators was apparently influenced by tractor type. Diquat applicators received minimal exposure. Urine samples collected periodically for all workers were, with one exception, without detectable pesticide contamination. Use of disposable coveralls and regularly washed impermeable gloves should effectively reduce exposure. |
