“…Hoekstra et a1 (18) found that, compared with re-entry activities, spraying doubled the exposure per workhour. In this study the mean spraying time per week among sprayers was 5.5 (SD 8.0, median 2) hours.…”

“…As dermal exposure is by far the most important (13,14,18), it seems reasonable to assume that the number of hours in contact with plants reflects the level of exposure. At least 20 hours per week was chosen as an indicator of at least half-time dermal contact to cultures.…”

“…Indirectly, researchers have examined various ways to assess the amount of 1-naphthol attributable to carbaryl exposure; however, this remains an inexact measurement of carbaryl exposure. 125,126 Other carbamate metabolites that have been measured in urine include benomyl, 127 …”

Pesticides are widely used chemicals making human exposure to pesticides a realistic possibility. Biomonitoring is a common and useful tool for assessing human exposure to pesticides. For the past several decades, methods have been developed to measure a variety of pesticides in human urine or blood to evaluate exposures. Many of these methods have employed analytical techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry to accurately measure urinary metabolites or blood body burdens of several classes of pesticides. The pesticides assessed include the banned organochlorine pesticides, the more modern organophosphorus, carbamate, and pyrethroid insecticides along with a variety of herbicides including phenoxyacetic acids and triazines. These methods are capable of detecting concentrations in biological samples resulting from occupational exposures to pesticides, and in some instances, general background exposures from residential or dietary exposures. These data have been used for a variety of applications. They have documented the pervasiveness of pesticide exposures, have allowed us to determine the primary predictors of exposure in certain populations, have helped us to identify the most important pathways of exposure, and have helped us to better understand any potential risks associated with exposures. In addition, these methods have helped us to document poisoning cases and identify etiologic agents in crisis situations. We discuss the methods that have been employed over the last 40 years and how these methods have addressed critical public health questions.

“…For example, in both industries most of the work is performed in enclosed environments, where pesticides cannot dissipate as easily as in open fields [28]. Exposure to pesticides can be dermal, oral, and respiratory and can occur through direct contact with pesticides during application, contact with pesticide residue on plants, upon entering a recently treated area, or through drift from nearby applications [29].…”

Occupational pesticide exposure may be hazardous to pregnant farmworkers, yet few studies have focused on the health of female farmworkers distinct from their male counterparts or on the impact of agricultural work tasks on pregnancy outcomes. In the current community-based participatory research study, researchers conducted five focus groups with female nursery and fernery workers in Central Florida to enhance knowledge of attitudes about occupational risks and pregnancy health and to gather qualitative data to help form a survey instrument. This article presents the results from questions focused on pesticide exposure and its impact on general, reproductive, pregnancy, and fetal health. Workers reported a belief that pesticide exposure could be hazardous to pregnancy health; descriptions of symptoms and health concerns believed to be related to farmwork and to pesticide exposure; and descriptions of barriers preventing them from practicing safer occupational behaviors.
