Presented at International Society of Exposure Analyusis Conference, Tucson, AZ, October 30 - November 03, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
The primary goal of the AHS Pesticide Exposure Study (AHS/PES) is to measure exposure to applied pesticides for a subset of the cohort of private pesticide applicators and to provide data to evaluate exposure algorithms developed for exposure classification in the study cohort.
Description:
The Agricultural Health Study is a large multi-agency epidemiological study of health in the agricultural community. A Pesticide Exposure Study was performed for a subset of AHS cohort members to measure exposures, assess exposure classification procedures, and examine exposure factors. This product reports the results of an analysis of occupational exposure factors for 2,4-D farm applicators in the AHS.
