“…The data presented in this paper indicate that citrus fieldworkers reporting a pesticide poisoning experienced many of the early symptoms described by Tabershaw and Cooper (1966);Morgan (1976); and Davies et al (1980). One worker required hospitalization, and seven others were treated by a physician and released.…”

“…In the latter' stages of more severe poisonings, symptoms may progress from difficult and labored breathing to loss of muscle control, convulsions, and possibly death (Tabershaw and Cooper, 1966;Morgan, 1976;Davies et al 1980). …”

“…Fieldworker exposure is closely tied to the job since applicators, mixers and loaders are believed to experience more exposure than harvest workers (Griffith and Duncan, 1985a;Davies et al 1980;and Kilgore and Akesson, 1980). Davies et al (1976) have characterized occupational pesticide poisonings into applicator and mixer-loader poisonings, and picker or thinner poisonings.…”

In a 1981 survey of 1811 Florida citrus fieldworkers, 25 pesticide related poisoning incidents involving 29 fieldworkers were reported. Suspected poisonings were categorized into possible and confirmed poisonings, and from these reports it was possible to project an estimated 438 possible poisonings, and 73 confirmed poisonings among all citrus fieldworkers. Confirmed pesticide poisonings were developed into an incidence rate of 34 poisonings per 10,000 permanent and semi-permanent fieldworkers. The number of possible and confirmed poisonings, for all fieldworkers, was then developed into an incidence rate of 160 poisonings per 10,000 fieldworkers.

“…Similar attire is worn by agricultural workers in other states [7,4]. Henry's study [6] indicated that although fruit growers recognized the health hazard associated with handling pesticides, many refused to wear protective clothing due to the lack of thermal comfort of ' A portion of this research was presented at the Determination and Assessment of Pesticide Exposure National Workshop, October 1980, Hershey, Pennsylvania.…”

In an effort to develop protective clothing that offered improved heat dissipation characteristics to pesticide applicators, the thermal responses were collected from 54 male subjects wearing two prototypes and a typical clothing ensemble. The performance of three designs and three fabrics with known chemical protective characteristics was determined in a controlled laboratory, simulating a hot environment. Analysis of physiological and perceptual data revealed that one protective fabric offered a similar thermal comfort level as chambray, a fabric growers often wear for pesticide application, which is an ineffective barrier to pesticide penetration.

“…In recent years, the introduction of new herbicide families, which have low consumption per hectare, low toxicity for mammals, and the ability to be absorbed through root and air organs, has quickly been considered by agricultural producers. As a result, chemical pesticides are further employed compared to other control methods (2). Herbicides are the most widely applied types of agricultural pesticides, and their use results in environmental pollution that threatens human and ecosystem health.…”

Several recent studies have focused on leaching pesticides from agricultural soils into surface and groundwater resources during irrigation. As a result, information about herbicide residues in water was necessary for conserving related resources. This study provided an overview of monitoring herbicides in water resources worldwide. In this scoping review, five databases were searched for publications (1990 to April 2021), including Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Cochrane library, Embase, and Web of Science. Among the 394 identified articles, 17 papers were selected for inclusion. Most of these studies have been conducted in regions with low herbicide concentrations, including Spain, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Hungary, Malawi, Portugal, Lesotho, Germany, Serbia, and the USA. The high-level alachlor, metolachlor, atrazine, metribuzin, and simazine herbicides in groundwater were detected in Portugal (0.4-13μg/L). An overview of studies demonstrated that herbicides are widely used in water resources, and surface waters are more contaminated than groundwaters.
