Abstract/Contents: | Presents part two of a series on chlorpyrifos, "the most widely used insecticide in the [United States]," focusing on human exposure. Suggests that "typical diets, particularly those of children, contain significant chlorpyrifos residues." Highlights ecological impacts of the insecticide, stating that "chlorpyrifos contaminates air, ground water, rivers, lakes, rainwater, and fogwater," and "has been found up to 15 miles from the site of application." Mentions that "when houses are treated with chlorpyrifos, carpets can serve as a source of chlorpyrifos vapors when residents return. Infants, who crawl and sit on the carpet, will breathe much higher concentrations than adults." |
